Three D printing is going strong, soon, instead of ordering something from apple you'll download a file. China will be out of business.
Google exists because we threw away backwards linking.
The thing about micro payments is it has to be multigenerational, with always back links.
A very messy incremental step towards what we could have done-- that's all we ever get in civilization.
we should be monetizing more and more and recording more and more.
You have to change the social contact motivation for each person in the node.
You can't make prohibitions work"
I don't think people's habits are bad. I just think their expectations are low.
If you turn into a utopian you become useless.

If you're in the lower part, if you have to spend more, that obliges you to make a living with something that has not been virtualized"
