Some platforms — Android, iOS, containers in the cloud, etc. — will be around long enough, and accumulate changes slowly enough, that their understanding will be valuable for a long while yet.
"That may seem like pie in the sky," says Daniel B. Botkin, an ecologist and author of "Discordant Harmonies: A New Ecology for the 21st Century," but in the crowded, urbanizing world to come, he concludes, such an understanding will be essential.

Such an understanding will be of general biological interest, but could also facilitate the design and interpretation of disease-mapping studies.
As the host proteins that regulate HIV replication are likely to be different in T cells and macrophages [106], such an understanding will be crucial in the eventual development of therapies to counteract the roles of HIV-1 infected macrophages in viral transmission, reservoir formation, and neuropathogenesis.
Such an understanding will be crucial for the design of rational policies of antibiotic use to maximize the lifespan of existing drugs and to minimize the impact of resistant infections.
Together with knowledge of the magnetic field a better understanding will be derived of the magnetospheric current systems and their closure at or near the planetary surface.
