Why is that even a desirable feature? If we wanted to simplify our lives, we could go back to the Hunter-Gatherer culture (well, not really anymore..) .. What's great about technology is how it empowers us! Group communication and organization and freedom of information afford us all greater potential and realization of that potential. And the means by which we can organize our society by our own terms, not the terms of the broadcast establishments. Who said technology is simplifying lives? Why is that even a desirable feature?

In my quest to become a member of the NR I've had successes and setbacks... One thing I would love to know is how does someone in sales truly implement these principles and become mobile? Am I looking at a career change or does anyone have good advice? Thanks. Love the the 4hww!!!
