40 years ago I was a researcher designing products from conductive polymers for Raychem Corporation in Menlo Park CA. This has no meaning to anybody except it seems the building I was in has just been given approval to be swallowed up by the ever growing Facebook campus. So some faceless and nameless Facebook employee will be inhabiting the office looking out over San Francisco Bay where I sat and invented stuff 25 years before Facebook existed. Except there won't be any private offices overlooking the bay in 2017; just rows upon rows of cubicles.
