In this new wave of technology, you can't do it all yourself, you have to form alliances. In describing today's accelerating changes, the media fire blips unrelated information at us. Experts bury us under mountains of narrowly specialized monographs. Popular forecasters present lists of unrelated trends, without any model to show their interconnections or the forces likely to reverse them. My 2 cents is an attempt to harbour a healthy debate on such topics.
