The three things that came together were Enron, the Dot Com bust, and the 9/11 attacks. Gregory Mankiv was the chairman of economics for bush in 2004. Nobuyuki Idei is the chairman of Sony corporations. Carly Fiorina predicts that these first 25 years of developement are just the beginning of a larger grander advancement that will take over all aspects of the economic and social world.
