This picture shows a cash-producing robotic cow, a metaphor for new technology industries. Notice that the cow is not resting on solid flooring but rather hovers precariously over a moving purple background. Today's bio-engineered farm animals may have a life-span of 4 years or less. Their hi-tech equivalents are often even more ephemeral.
