I read a book called, the hugely exciting, "Algorithms to live by".

It more or less said that if something has been going for 20 years they you should assume you are probably in the middle of it's life. It's unrealistic to expect to catch the very start or end.

It offered various mathematical proofs but pointed to the distribution to truly understand expected life.
