You've described the changing geography of the Internet that I keep bringing back. "Even LAN connectivity that today is based on copper cabling and equipment rooms filled with energy-consuming switches, and what have you, are numbered, in my opinion." I think they are going to be moved.

There's only so much brain work required for constant innovation and disruption to go around, and it's not enough to keep the overwhelming majority of a nation with 360 million people gainfully employed. Is there any evidence that TPTB have any inkling of this? When I've brought it up in "polite" company I've been accused of being an elitist and having a dim view of humanity. It seems there are a LOT of people - at least in N.A. - who genuinely believe most people can do almost anything.

Frank, there doesn't seem to be an upper limit: <There's only so much brain work required for constant innovation and disruption to go around, and it's not enough to keep the overwhelming majority of a nation with 360 million people gainfully employed> Everywhere, the big shortage is in brain-power. I could use another 40 IQ points and not think I have a surplus. Some genetic engineering and selection would be a good move. It is done now but using the eugenics process as currently conducted is very slow and approximate with huge waste. Women do their best to select good DNA for the next generation, but they could use some help such as getting better information from, for example, 23andMe and some gene splicing to take out the bung stuff and put in the good [or at least select the best of several zygotes].
