  3. "Monetary System!  And this is what now stands in the way of our progression " This is not true.  It is the only system that is viable today that enables trade and innovation and what Rifkin proposes as a future will need the monetary system to occur.

  4. This new revolution as people call it will involve automation in other words robotics.  The robotic system will be able to build other robotics systems and so on. What will happen is that most of the things you today consider as costing money will in the not so distant future cost pennies.  After that products will cost nothing to produce.

  5. The robots that these companies use will also enable everyday people and communities to build more robots and so on.  What this will lead to is a world of abundance.  This will not balance out because simply will not just let things rest they will move onward and up.

  6. Mr David Appelbaum position is one that is bogged down by today's level of engineering.  He simply does not understand that technology is exponential because it is feed by ever increasing technology.
