I am not understanding your use of the words pipe dream.
It is not a pipe dream to live.
No one knows.
Heck 150 years ago, you would have been considered an old man.
For all I know 10 years from now, the average life expectancy might be 100.
Here is the thing, 20 years from now, I will be 70. My oldest daughter will be 53. My grandson will be legal to drink.
But you said in 20-30 years ebooks won't be usable. Is everyone in the world going to die in 30 years. Our age doesn't matter in your argument.
Hey kiddo that has had internet since elementary school, technology will continue to evolve so no one can say what digital books will look like then.
Rather like I am pretty sure my aunt was amazed at all the technology that came along in her lifetime.
