I just received a job which was shot with a charge coupled device camera, saved on a solid state memory card, up loaded to a server somewhere across the country. I was sent a hyper-link to the file, I then "picked up" the file over those same stretched glass rods we're talking to each other over. After doing what I do, with software that was designed in the last two years, in five minutes that which used to take several highly trained techs and several days, I'm about to deliver it by burning a plastic disc with a laser, then I'm going to send it FedEx (a giant spoke wheel airfreight company that didn't exist when I first learned my trade). The great part is I'll never even see the client or talk to them, yet I know that my bill will get paid, electronically in a few weeks. If that isn't enough innovation for you, then you must be a lot braver than I am because I'm like most people, I'm having a hard time keeping up with just how fast my world is changing. -ggg- no it really is not... and i would not necessarily extrapolate from your particular field onto the broad based economy. basically you are talking about refinements of existing technology. helpful, but not nearly on par with the pc revolution, automotive, jet travel, or mobile communications. bottom line is what you are describing is efficiency and productivity enhancement for an existing market. btw... "say's law" http://i ngrimayne.saintjoe.edu/econ/Connections/says2.htm Doubting Say's Law Say's Law works in a barter economy where there is no money. Fish trade directly for bananas, bananas trade directly for coconuts, and coconuts trade directly for fish. Say and his allies were convinced that the introduction of money would not change anything, other than to make the analysis more difficult to follow. To keep things simple, they ignored money. However, many economists today think that the introduction of money not only complicates the model but also invalidates the original conclusion of Say's Law, that there can be no oversupply of goods. i do believe there can be an oversupply or "glut " of goods
