Remembering that a time existed in which the box into which you are staring did not exist, I can only guess at what 20-30 years will bring.

Of course we will get the re-release of Peter Jackson's work. Not sure on what media it will be sold - will DVD media even exist then (except for in museums and garage sales... "Why look, honey, it's one of those DVD players I read about on that antiquing website. Let's buy it and place it on the mantel next to that iPod thing we bought last month.")?

Hopefully someone with a true love for the work (like one of you youngsters out there) will use the technology of the day to create something worthy...like an interactive 3D book where you can walk alongside the Fellowship, speak with them (their answers are compilations of thoughts expressed at the Downs along with the original work), and get a real feel for Middle Earth, kind of like what PJ did via his 2D film (sans his departures from the story, of course).
