Leaving the Matrix

The article in the link below is designed for those
looking for a better life, one free of the demands
of Power.

I suspect most of us who've spent some time on the
internet believe that it is, and will be responsible
for some very major changes. If you know how to
us it to your advantage, you can live long and
prosper.

The new age of information is here, as happened
with the invention of the printing press. The
presses devasted the then current power structure,
largely making information controlled by the Holy
Roman Church irrelevent.

A whole new class of information was born, big
changes arose and many more individuals benefited
at the expense of the power of the Church.

The net will more than likely do the same to the
nation state, laying waste to it as ever more migrate
to Cyberspace to make their living, taking their
assets with them.

The net will allow almost anyone to benefit at some
point as both computers and internet service becomes
faster and cheaper and available anywhere and anywhen.

At that point, the nation state becomes irrelevent
also, being unable to extract enough blood from its
citizens to stay solvent.

excellent article.(PDF file.)
