Rob S., I agree with your basic premise, without voicing an opinion on the politics of whose dominion it is, as reflected in one of my earlier posts at #msg-26841630: The following passage, which I think is apropos here, is from a 2008 Harvard Business paper written by John Seely-Brown, John Hagel and Lang Davison entitled “Shaping Strategy In A World Of Constant Disruption,” which can be found at: bit.ly , since it aligns closely both metaphorically and in a real sense to the fundamental precepts of my questions above: “Major technological innovations like the steam engine, electricity, and the telephone brought forth powerful new infrastructures. Inevitably, these disruptive innovations transformed industry and commerce, but eventually they became stabilizing forces, once businesses learned to harness their capabilities and gained confidence in the new order. That historical pattern – disruption followed by stabilization – has itself been disrupted. A new kind of infrastructure is evolving, built on the sustained exponential pace of performance improvements in computing, storage, and bandwidth. Because the underlying technologies are developing continuously and rapidly, there is no prospect for stabilization. Businesses and social institutions constantly find themselves racing to catch up with and learn the steadily improving foundational technologies." FAC ------
