![]() Perhaps it is time to get off the grid.just something to think about. World economies and infrastructure can be brought to their knees in a flash by the reliance on the internet. In the old days to move retirement funds, you had to go to HR, fill out papers in triplicate, mail them in, and in a few weeks the changes were made. By the time they thought it was safe to move it back, they had lost the uptick. By the time average folks hit the panic button and moved everything to interest funds, the loss was real. Millions of people lost lifetimes worth of savings, and a savvy few made millions from it. The same machine that created the "real estate bubble" to begin with. I'll give one example: The recent stock market crash was fueled by this instant chaos and millions of every day joes having fingertip access to electronically move thier 401K balances causing an avalanche of fear and panic. Instant gratification, data assumed as fact and proliferated as knowledge. Instant info (true or not) spreading at an exponential rate across the globe. The internet will be the downfall of society.
