and nice talk, you rock!!!

I’ve got a couple of issues with some of your theses, though. You say that we will have to do less with more – marginal costs of production and distribution will continue to decrease. From that you derive that information will eventually replace money as the prime resource. Yet as we know, the internet has brought the production and distribution cost of information so low you may consider them nil for the future – this has been the real game changer, as the music majors and the knowledge industry may be all to ready to prove. Information is free, even ideas are free – which means, from an economic point of view, that they have no value as a trade community. Which isn’t to say that smart people won’t be able to build a reputation but I guess news of money’s demise may be a bit premature.

I’d also like to object to the points about digital natives not needing contexts and the death of linearity. We are (and in my opinion, always will be) story-telling machines, this is hard-wired into our mode of verbal communication, and this will always force us to a certain degree of linearity to be understood by others. Which is a good thing IMHO: imagine a world without stories – I’d be out of work even sooner. But maybe it’s just a question of putting it: If you mean that the dominant mode of storytelling )i.e. communication) will be less Shakespeare and more Tarantino, I’m all with you.
