So many of us are seeing that our livelihoods and that our investments are being impacted by the Internet-driven restructuring of the economy.

The first was about 10,000 years ago when the human race transitioned from hunter-gathers to farmers. The second was when the Industrial Revolution kicked off in 1769 as Richard Arkwright built the world’s first true factory in Derbyshire, England. This caused a complete refashioning of the agrarian way of life and England was not recognizable from the nation it was a mere century before.
