A special thanks to Aidan Yes my calculations were wrong. You are right. Storage is now .005 cents per MB. Slight brain fade there.
I love the comments and the discussion.
A couple of points.
I am not a Luddite. I have more technology in my home than most. Use computers for watching TV, streaming music, creating music. video conferencing, security cameras etc. Hell I even sms my kids in their bedrooms to tell them dinner is ready.
But what I do see is a convergence of efficiency to live and the growth of the population as reaching a point where something has to change.
When the loom was created in 1875 here were only 1.3 million people on the planet. Now there's 7 billion.
As to dragging people out of poverty. Ok then lets ignore the 3 billion now living in poverty. https://www.dosomething.org/facts/11-facts-about-global-poverty
As to we will never run out of resources. We use 1.5 planets worth of resources a year. http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/world_footprint/
And Rhrosty I do agree the inmates have taken over the asylum.
The whole point of the essay was to get comments and feedback and to get people thinking and talking. Also thanks to all those who have posted links to other information.
I do not have the answers. Matter of fact. The older I get. The more I am told I know nothing by everyone else.
Long live the debate. Better over a glass of wine though.
Cheers
Geoff
