IMHO, it is premature to worry about this problem at the present time.
For all we know, before the next 38 years would have passed us by, most all
current computers and programming languages and operating systems might
have become so obsolete as to be considered mere curiosities in museums
of technology. The only people still actually using such technology would
consist only of a small group of old fools and patriarchs like us. By the
time that day comes around, we might have become recognized only as
interesting subjects for interviews by the History Channel, and deserving of
an occasional passing mention on Time Lab 2000.
