RE: The reason why I want to build a platform on Steemit and why you should too: THE IDEA ECONOMY
Look at Kodak, they invented the very thing that put them out of business. Having great ideas is not enough if you don't act on them!
Unfortunately, for Kodak. This was the true Kodak moment. @the-traveller
Hehe, Peter Diamandis is a genius explaining these concepts. I find his explanation greatly optimistic and indeed over the long run I believe things will be much better than most people thing. But what bothers me is that he is a bit too quick to glance over the difficulties to transition to this new world.
Many people will be left behind, overall I do believe there will be more job creation than job destruction, but those jobs will be radically different in nature. It is like a whole new techno literacy we need to learn and 80% of people are techno illiterate. (The term bothers me, Kevin Kelly uses it but I can't find what would make one "techno literate" it will be a constantly moving target I suspect.)
You might enjoy these articles too which I based on some of Peter Diamandis' concepts:
One on Abundance
One on exponential functions, most people don't understand them really
Don't bother upvoting, they are old already, but I'd appreciate your comments!
