i understand that there is at least one florida based company that outsourced its reception area; clients arrive in reception area and is greeted by remote service and a flat screen image, screening, checking booking, opening door, directing traffic. result, one less job for somebody

another venture is gearing up for remote legal research

etc etc

as to happiness, it is a question of to whom we direct the question

i am told that the world is flat

i am as anxious as all to see how the flatness plays out as it levels

first the leveling happens by globalization of cost, then revenue per capita, and eventually, levelization by dethroning of global reserve currency and confiscation of secret empire printing press

in 2000, we of the thread can proudly claim we were astute in ruminating about the future

now we are perhaps just watching the playing out of all that have already been tee-ed up

in hkg, we feel the globalization storm most acutely
we fear, and we can only adapt or perish
just terribly frightening

but we are not stupid enough to believe and put faith to the possibility that the path to salvation lies in currency battles / trade wars legislation, as opposed to education, diligence, savings, investment, and gold

recommendation: getgoldwhilethegettingisstillgood, pray for real estate collapse, hope to exchange gold into real estate at appropriate time
