I was listening to this in the car as I raced to pick up a kid from school raced Nice subtle touch, X! LOL! The information overload will isolate people more and more in their rspective disciplines, IMO--regardless of the tremendous improvements of sharing data and information. So long as information must be processed, rather than simply embraced through some biological nexus--we are approaching a world where intellectual/technological survival will be as precarious as economic survival is through the sharing and distribution of material resources. A breakdown in one sector can pose a survival risk for the whole group. I see this happening in the intellectual domain. We will need to have intellectual specialists akin to the "Jacks of all trades" of the labour realm: Specialists that become fireflies of thought, that can carry enough information to salvage the whole regardless of which part is threatened with extinction. It might be thought that supply and demand, self interest and trade, would manage this problem in the background. However, this ignores Mother Nature, it ignores Human Nature, and it assumes a cooperation and an intention, that we have no reason to believe has any constancy.
