Money and Technology: The Wealth Singularity
Most people are aware of how fast technology is changing. Just Facebook and Twitter have revolutionized the Internet landscape in the last year. And, they have revolutionized how we connect with each other. Not just how we connect online, but how we connect in life! These two examples of technology make it super easy to connect to millions of people instantly, and for free. That’s pretty amazing.
Here is the traffic graph for Facebook from Alexa:
Facebook and Twitter make email look prehistoric. And, in Internet time, email is prehistoric. If most people started using email in 1995, when the Internet exploded, that is nearly 15 years ago. That makes it ancient history. These sites have reinvented the way we connect, but accelerating technology has not had such a powerful effect on every aspect of our lives.
Which Area of of Lives has Technology yet to Revolutionize?
Accelerating technology like computers and communications such as DSL, cable and wireless have revolutionized how we connect to people around the world. And, these technologies even revolutionized how we meet new people. If we stop twittering for a second to think about it, it’s pretty incredible!
Facebook is the #2 most popular site on the Internet now. Do you think it will become the most popular site before long? I do. Because it creates so much value for its users. A few years ago, who could have predicted that a social networking site would make a huge difference in a presidential election, and in our lives in general?
Yet there is one area of our lives that technology has only made a small impact. In this area, most people do things the same way they have done them for 10 or 20 years. People are using the analogs of spears and rocks. They are wearing animal hides and living in caves. They believe that eclipses and earthquakes are punishments unleased upon us by angry gods.
What area am I talking about? I am referring to the area of money creation and investing. Although technology has revolutionized many areas of our lives, most people attempt to make money the same way they did decades ago: by going to a job that they hate. They wonder when they will escape from their cubicle hell, why they have to work with people who are so annoying, and what happened to their boss to make them so unpleasant.
The good news is that the answer is here. We have created a book about how to use accelerating technology to make money, and how to use it to invest safely and with high returns. Mankind and womankind have more opportunity and power to make money than ever before in history. Why wouldn’t we use it?
We think that everyone can use new technology to make more money, faster and more effectively, using tools like Facebook, the Internet, blogs, and online publishing. The information is here. Now we get to use it.

is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
