Information technology vs mind technology
Information technology (IT) is no longer a source of competitive advantage.
The new technology to watch for is what I call Mind Technology (MT). This is the kind of technology that will shape either YOUR mind or somebody else's mind.
If it shapes your mind, then it will make you more productive, more creative, more innovative. As a result, you will create more value, and make more money.
If it shapes other people's mind, then it will help you to make money FASTER.
www.45future.com is an example of a simple Web-based technology that shapes the minds of hundreds of thousands of people. The owner(s) of that site are obviously very rich or very smart, probably both.
They are very smart because they master a mysterious principle illustrated by the statement: "The founder of a market is someone who is impeccable in his psychological knowledge of a group of people who have not yet realized that they belong together."
Most people are powerless economically because every day, they interact with technologies and software applications that actually DESTROY their mind and their creative/mental capabilities.
As if that was not bad enough, workers go home after a mind-numbing day at the office, and then watch TV for more mind-destruction!
I don't know if George Bush is still looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but one thing's for sure: the weapon of mass distraction in America is television.
Television is like a giant machine-babysitter, forcing millions of people to sit quietly and obediently on their comfortable sofa and absorbing, like a baby being spoon-fed, all the information junk provided by TV broadcasters.
So in a very real sense, TV is a mind technology used by the elite (capitalists, media moguls, government, etc.) to subdue and control the masses.
