Today's technology really ISN'T making our lives better. I think we need to stop. Slow things down.

I'm doing some consulting work looking at what's happening in the payments industry (and, coincidentally, yesterday someone put 10 phony $30 transactions on my debit card, but I digress.)

The global technology-driven changes to the entire world of money is mind-boggling. We won't recognize the banking/retail/P2P/mobile payments space in the next five years. See Money 2020.

There is no way to slow down the global rush of technology in every aspect of our lives, for better or for worse.

I know what you mean. And I can't really disagree. But I would like to see the 10th Amendnment exercised to the point where one or more states could offer regulatory and tax-related incentives to focus on agriculture and local craftsmanship. Be self-sufficient within the state. Say No to the feds.

If Wyoming or some other state were to offer real sanctuary and freedom, I think people would flock there to get away from the mind-boggling changes which are coming.

Galt's Gulch doesn't have to be a state of mind. And Globalization ought to be a choice.
