The question to

Hello, Nina. The question to the answer you ask in the headline is obvious – when technology drives accelerating change the only thing to do is to adapt. Not only we have become globally networked, we have become mobile addicted. According to stats, mobile has already pushed desktop out. Yes, now we have the capacity to solve previously unsolvable problems. Even or fantasies have come to live – I love this article about Back To The Future Predictions That Came True – it is totally amazing! We can do everything online using our smartphones, even run business, you can read here about the possibilities of business apps. A decade ago we could not even imagine that it would be possible to run business completely paperless. I love your ideas of “smart failure” education. I believe it is very important to know the stories of those who failed – generally, we only deal with success stories, which is absolutely wrong. It is called survivorship bias, you should check it out, it is really interesting. However, I would not agree that remote work is all that good. It has its disadvantages. For example,it is harder to reach balance between work and private life, when you work at home. There is really a lot to catch up with and to look forward to, and we should work hard to remain up-to-date with evolving technology.

Hello, There are two gravity-driven energy generators known as the Pinwheel Generator, and the Power Multiplier Device. These produce free energy by gravtiy only-no fuel. There is a design called the Grow-Live Tower. It is a cylindrical building where the lowers 20 levels are for the residents, and the upper 60 levels are greenhous levels that provide all the food the residents need. The residents grow the food themselves. Together these designs would provide a permanent place for the people to live OUTSIDE of the accelerating mindlessness and dehumanization of the technological momentum. These towers will protect the people from the intentional crashes in the economy that might threaten their ability to pay rent and eat. To protect them from the technofuture where there will soon be efficience chips in the people arms to ease purchasing, fake trees called realtrees (trademark protected) covering our parks for ease of maintenance, fake food called realfood for efficiency of production, and fake lives revolving around fake crafted interest/discussion subjects that have the same application in both the work environment, and the home environment, because they both will have merged into the same thing, and the libraries would be turned into realfood vending machines. The people are the most important, the machine is to serve to people, not the people serving the machine. Russ
