Something's not right and some things I can't understand... When we say a lot of people lost money in a credit gamble where do these losses go? Aren't the losses someone else's winnings? How is it possible that everyone is losing money at the same time? Unless people lost something they never had that should never bring us into the kind of recession everyone talks about, you know there's no money to go around any more. Where can the money really go? It doesn't just fly...Seems to me this global financial crisis is more a symptom of an economic transformation, the winners of that credit spree will decide the new direction of economic growth but who are the winners? News are full of losers but no one is pointing at the winners who will essentially be the new lenders. I think that is what we need to see more of in the news, stories of winners so that we know where to apply next for work and funding for new projects

      I imagine that in the future paper money will be replaced by e-paper money. If electronic paper can be made to work as a scanner, it could then scan for fingertips and transmit the identity of the person when close to a wireless network...

      If our world has become flat and global, why not make it more integrated? What if you could apply for different citizenships and be able to hold them all by paying annual fees and by passing exams in history, language, civic lessons etc? The annual citizenship fee is a form of tax which would help national governments collect more in taxes...
