This is why I labeled terrorism as the single largest problem that our society faced, well before 9/11. Because if terrorists target infrastructure and communications, then governments will react by making things like travel more difficult and the infrastructure more cumbersome. And that leads to shortages and trade barriers and hoops that have to be jumped through, gumming the system up. And that is the problem with synergistic systems. When you pass certain thresholds, this work disproportionately better. When you fall below those thresholds, things fall apart quicker than you expect. You are right.......some important synergies will be lost. I just believe its not irreversible. However, it may take a generation or two to recover. ted
