Thanks, mr_fixer. I looked up Kunstler, and while he has some very valid points, I believe that
new technology is
precisely what will head off any collapse of economies, American or other. Technical stuff is my biggest hobby (and career as well) specifically because I see it as the one area that gets better (in most ways) all the time: higher performance, lower cost, more versatile, safer, etc.
If I had to pick a year's technology to live with for the rest of my life, I think maybe 2712 could be a good one.
