All of this is changing the face of how business is conducted.I wonder what the future consequences will be; when one does not really have control over one&#8217;s own material.It is truly in someone else&#8217;s hands.Or, someone else&#8217;s server.<\/p>\n<p>I am my age, I am used to the idea that in order to sell something you must have a product to exchange for money. Clearly I am old fashioned. I find it harder very day to justify my existence on earth. My ideas do not find as easily as they once did.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose it is one of the reasons I like long distance sailing. Life is reduced to very elemental levels. Perhaps it reminds us who or what we really are. I have very little desire to go into space, I find the world has much to much to offer. I would like to see the earth from space, however.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; SpeedDream is a story that I have been following for a while, I have posted about it earlier.
