Abstract
With the 6th generation of wireless networks on the horizon, the time is right to reflect on what has been accomplished, on old and new challenges, on the research tools at our disposal, and on the evolution of wireless communications. This lecture intends to contribute to this reflection, not from the perspective of a manufacturer, operator, or user, but from a researcher's perspective. With this perspective, the presentation is organized around various ideas that relate to 6G, but that also have broader conceptual implications.
