Good point Lebrok, i do think people love to sensationalize global warming, obesity, old age.
We love to think about how doomed we all are!
I wonder though if we are becoming to automated, we now have auto check outs in the UK in supermarkets meaning they save money on staff, personally I prefer them as they are quicker and easier that queuing for small talk with some half wit. I have done work with an international printer who are moving their whole business model online, they are basically planning on closing their entire franchise net work over the net ten years. They make a bigger margin the customer get a lower price by cutting out the franchise who acts as a middle man. The internet has allowed them a sales outlet which used to be the high street. While you might argue this is win win, its just more jobs lost, I wonder how we match up a growing population with falling jobs?
