Shift Happens Wiki Discussion Three: A New Economy?

This discussion is the second most commented one in the wiki and revolves around the economical ideas set forth in the “Did You Know 2.0?" video. The discussion revolves around the idea of technology changing the global monetary system and possibly even the governance of the world. Most of this discussion is not relevant for teaching students to function at a higher level in technology, but rather gives the idea that the world as a whole is changing.

While I found some of the thoughts in this discussion interesting, most of it did seem to be paranoid rants of a few individuals who think everything should be socialized. I do believe that the economy and how governments operate is changing, but I don’t believe ideas like “failure of the Capitalist system and environmental destruction caused by it, that threatens the future of life on this planet.” Hopefully, this wiki has a moderator that will spend some serious time ensuring that it doesn't become filled with extremist political ideas.
