Life In the Social Media Space of The Internet

[Lamar Morgan]

This Social Media Card stuff is really getting into Conversational Currency and Innovation Economics. I did a little reading about this - just enough perhaps to be dangerous - and cannot help but wonder if the world is really changing bigtime with regard to how we GTD (Get Things Done). Newspapers, for example, seen to either be going out of business or struggling to stay in business. Meanwhile, more and more people are coming into the Social Media Space. For example, I read some pretty scary predictions for the year 2020:

1) Social networks will become corporations.

2) The resume system will disappear.

3) Universities will respond to supply and demand.

4) Teachers will forego a salary and instead take an equity position in students.

5) People will migrate toward what they are naturally good at, no definite job description.

6) Innovation bonds will return 80% risk-free - investors will flood the market with venture capital.

7) The Fed will peg the dollar to productivity, not gold.

8) Social priorities will drive investors rather than Wall Street.

Why would anyone expect predictions like those to come to pass?
