Repeat after me: There is no new economy, There is no new economy.....
When you can email me a glass of water, there will be a new economy. Until then we have a huge school of fish mesmerized by glowing boxes. These fish lose social skills each day as their lives become dehumanized. They take their quake games on the freeway with them. They hold their spouses up to the unrealistic expectations of porn sites. They move quickly through an electronic financial system under the false pretense of reputable efficient capital allocation, when in essence we are a nation of gambling addicts.
Virtual experience is vapor experience. I'll take mine in the garden where I can smell the dirt, not my hot tower fan. There is a limit to the value of information displayed by a glowing box. The increases in the quality of that information and the breadth of its dispersion provide ever diminishing returns. The virtual experience as defined by staring at glowing boxes is not human experience. Do you expect me to visit you if you are ill in the hospital?
