With all the change that's taking place all over the world, how do you see things evolving? The future is now. It's taking place now. Stage is set and has been set for a long time. Not just in Internet Marketing, though IM will certainly be affected by world events, and especially by the worldwide economy.

I was very interested in hearing what Canada's leading futurist had to say on many topics that we are faced with today. The futurist is Richard Worzel. I think he hits the nail on the head on almost every issue. He talked about US current financial trouble going all the way back to the presidency of  FDR, when problems were just postponed for the next presidency in an unholy progression, like a bad habit. It has continued to this day, irregardless of party or president. He also cites our education as being severely lacking and in need of reform. Dead on. We also need an attitude adjustment. Too much gimme, gimme and not enough accountability. Of course that is a generalization, and not true of all Americans. Not true of most Americans. Just true of too many Americans. But certainly enough to cause concern. The time to act intelligently is now,  without a moment to delay. Our very futures depend on what we do now. Not just US, but the entire world. And not just correction for the US, but also for the entire world. We're a global economy now.

You can hear what Worzel has to say on YouTube. It'll give you some insight on where to take your online business in the future by looking at societal trends.
