That is a tough question. I have gotten into trouble a few times when I have allowed myself to speculate with such scope and grandeur. I think that the better part of wisdom is probably stated on the cover of the Information Theory Transac- tions, where it says that the boundaries of this Transac- tions are deliberately not sharply delimited -- we intend to follow the field wherever it goes, and here I would repeat what I said earlier about trusting the taste of the best people. I think that within the engineering community, information theory has traditionally and seems still to attract people with a taste for analytical approaches to hard but relevant ques- tions. I do not think there will be a lack of hard and relevant questions, and I think that people will follow their noses using whatever tools are available to keep the field young and fresh.
