Many of the big internet companies have had a very great spiritual realization. In the industrial revolution, things mattered most. Even though spiritual life suggested looking beyond the material, material possessions became greatly valued. Now, for the internet and internet businesses to stay successful, they need highly educated people. Things don't matter as much.
Storefronts can be more cumbersome than virtual stores.
Information, in short, is becoming more valued than material things. This is the information age. As a civilization, we are finding our way past the illusion that material things are more important than education and spirituality. What drives and creates material things is education. So we are only one step away from seeing that what drives education is inner spiritual development.
