Well if we do this right, everybody wins because we create wealth in the economy. We create whole new value propositions for customers. The notion of prosumption, the gap between consumers and producers, blurs. At my local bakery, I can order my own bread on the Net, my own version. We've got the notion of networking where we not only break down the islands that exist within a corporation but between the walls of corporations leading to fundamentally new models of the firm, what I've been discussing as electronic business communities that are about as different from the old command and control hierarchy as it was from the feudal craft shop of the agrarian economy.
Innovation is another theme.
So innovation drives everything. It's the notion of globalization. Of course, we've talked about it for a long time, but we're actually launching a new program in the Alliance for Converging Technologies right now on the future of governance in a global, digital economy. And one of the serious issues we're looking at is the disintermediation of the nation state as we've known it. So, we're looking at global workforces, virtual aliens, the national boundaries becoming less important, global markets and so on.
