[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 309022"] IOW, job loss to technology is so self-apparent that you have to go into denial mode to evade it. Sure, with widgets, some of it is technological progress. And some of it is offshoring encouraged -- mandated -- by changes to the law. But in the areas you're ignoring -- like culture -- the ability of creators to make a living from their work -- even when wildly popular -- has been gutted out. By the exact paradigm change he pointed to : information as the same kind of loss-leader commodity (to drive advertising revenue) that bannannas are in the grocery store. When that happens, as Harlock's link guy points out, creativity becomes the purview of amateurs. Everybody's creating, and nobody's getting paid for it other than in dribbles. :face: [/QUOTE]
