Do you embrace change?

The Luddites, who smashed machines in the early 1800s and claimed that technology would destroy standards of living, had it exactly backwards.

Technological development over the past two centuries has raised standards of livings around the world so much that we now worry about the gap between the leaders and the laggards. Many must "diet," and farmers get paid to idle their fields, because we have too much food.

As design and collaboration technology lower the cost of building and manufacturing, these trends will only accelerate (different forms of technology tend to advance at different rates, and tend to reinforce each other's growth rates.)

So don't be a luddite. Don't fear the changes that technology brings. Embrace the new, the untried, the possible, and recommit every day to being open to new ideas. We don't want you to end up like these guys did...
