This is a question that stumped many upstarts in the dot-com era, so hopefully enterprise 2.0 will be able to solve this issue. This is an especially troubling fear for the majority of first world countries as they shift from traditional to “knowledge” economies. If only tangible things have value in the new world, how will knowledge economies fare? Will the world eventually creep towards something like a communist ideal? If the digital age has proven anything, it’s that there are motives in this world far greater than money. As the Anderson article touched on, this issue becomes even more prevalent with the introduction of “free energy”. Conspiracy theorists around the world would have us believe that free energy has existed since the days of Nicola Telsa. With free energy, does everything in life eventually become free? If the widget factory is run using free energy, and is staffed using robots running on free energy, does the cost eventually go to zero and therefore free? As fusion power continues to be just around the corner, this may become a reality sooner than we think. Maybe I should start thinking of t-shirt ideas.
