Live For Today!

Today I questioned a valued acquaintance on the effect that "DISRUPTION" was going to have for our future.  The response I received was Disruption is just a word and not to worry about it but to worry about me today.  Well, I thought...yes, DISRUPTION is a word but it appears to be a very important word to our future.  If I only worry about today and myself and what I can scrape up while the tide is in then I will have no reason for complaint when that tides goes out and nothing is left.  How can we not pay attention to what "they"...the siren servers are telling us.  (Google, Facebook, MS, Amazon, etc).  And not just the big Siren Servers but those that are close to them trying to feed on. 

DISRUPTION means destruction for our way of life.  When everything is no longer price efficient it will be disrupted.  That means it will be over.  The company (or whatever) will go bankrupt or at least shut the doors.  And when the disruption has completed it's destruction of this way of life, which has been pretty darn good to us, there will be no going back.  We will have arrived at our brave new world and that world for better or worse will be by subscription & contract.  We will have been gleaned of all our information...our who we are in every aspect and situation of our life...and then we will get what we want back for a price.  Do you think Google is going to keep dishing out for free all the information that they have gathered for years or do you think some policy changes will come about.

I'm not good at living in the moment.  I never have been.  I do try hard to be happy and feel gratitude for each day and what I have accomplished or not.  But my eye is always on the future.  That is just who I am.  And I see a lot coming at us right now.  The future is almost here.  And many, many smart people are working around the clock at the ideas to change life in ways that will cut out the middle person, which in turn means the middle class.  Why?  It is faster and more efficient and besides they are receiving huge grants for researching and growing these new industries that will in the future take your job away. 

So...I do think that DISRUPTION is more than just a word.  It is a word that is used everyday to express someones plan for the future...the near future.  So I just can't sit back and live for today.
