Please take 18 minutes and watch Yochai Benkler, author of "The Wealth of Networks," talk about what he sees developing in economics due to new technologies such as the internet.
The world is changing ... Hanging on to the beliefs of yesterday, will not only cause greater struggles for you, but for your children and grandchildren too. My belief, is that not only are the corporations of today going to face rapid change, but that they aren't the "good jobs" of tomorrow either (as witnessed by almost daily mass layoffs). Open source is changing the world, bringing greater productivity to each individual, but more importantly, greater freedom as well.
You don't need to see eye to eye with Yochai on everything, just sit back and watch the video, I promise, you'll learn a lot.
