Only younger millennials and younger Zers have this model so ingrained. I expect a revolt against everything virtual in the next awakening, which will be very green and back to nature and reality oriented. But Millennials won't be the driving force in that; they'll be defending the virtual model. Old fashioned will be new and new will be old fashioned for a while during the next 2T.

I agree that the anti-social merchandizing model will be challenged by the neo-Prophets, but what form it will take is impossible to know this far out.  It's unlikely to be a throwback to something old, rather a gateway to something new.  By then, the world will look even less familiar to the younger Boomers and older Xers still in circulation.  Don't count on those gray-hairs helping to define it.  They'll be doing well just living through it.
