Money is the root of all evil

Good contribution as always Matty.
You are correct about the impending technocratic era. Kurtzweil (yes the famous manufacturer of various musical equipment) is arguably the biggest proponent of this, it is very interesting to say the least to read what some of his thoughts are on the subject. He is very matter of fact about what will happen, I have a feeling he is an extremely CONNECTED individual.
Regarding the youth: many "parents" are guilty of not properly raising their children, and as a result we are now seeing a generation raised and dependent on tech, particularly cell phones which have significantly changed day to day life and interaction. They can only respond in very simple, often one sentence answers. Anything that is not instant is weird. Attention span is only a few seconds. I can't imagine when that generation spawns...society will truly be degraded.
