In Austria academia started its demise with "Schüssel 1" ~ 25 years ago. But this lamento is long and well known and all the same all over the world. When I was in highschool we had a lecture of a bright person over innovation and economy cycles - that was ~ 1984. He said based on historic data the next up-cycle will reach its climax in ~ 20-25 years due to an invention not yet known followed by the next anitclimax in ~ 50 years. Man, what we laughed about that crude theory - "an unknown invention? How could that be?". And now we are there nearing the next anitclimax and history proofes again that men don't learn from history.
