jkthinks: With e-mail addressing we let people know where we are. How about e-mail communication which does not require each party to expose routing information.

Is social lending the next evolution of banking?
jkthinks: No. eBay will apply rules and processes to protect itself and then the lending relationship. Business lending is inevitable and unfortunatey will attract loan sharks.

Is physical media now absolete?
jkthinks: Physical media is being redefined - it was CD, VCD, DVD, Blue-ray. It is now memory; your computer; your mp4 player - infact any storage with or without the means for record or playback. Now, what would be interesting is giving the appearance of removing external physical media by replacing it with storage, record and playback offered by the human body. Our body will become the new physical media. So physical media will still actually exist, but perhaps at a cellular level. So can digital media exist without an actual medium? Now that would be clever.

Does Co Creation Create Better Products?
jkthinks: Ideas come from inspiration from users and corporations. Corporations can reap rewards and withstand the cost of failures. Few individuals can afford or want to do the same. So, corporations could offer shared reward programmes. The corporate contribution is the investment in the idea life cycle. Each party will protect the intellectual property of other other. Simple contracts will be created to do this. Trust will re-surface; man will walk on the sun ; it will be a holiday everyday; and there will be a cure for the common cold. Perhaps this site sponsor can prove that this is achievable and that sniffly noses are past. But, I will not throw away my handkerchief just yet.... but I would like to...

Do we expect too much from technology?
jkthinks: Technology advances allows us to threaten and indeed reverse the role of the tooth fairy. You now give money and you can wish for new teeth (okay, via the dentist..), but shiny new teeth you can get. One day, will we really threaten or reverse the role of mother nature? Yes! Pay money and get what you want. By that time, our celebrities will be those people who have looked after themselves and who have their original parts in working order. They will be unlike most of the population who will have been ignoring their health responsibilities. So, I see most of the population using technology to achieve the standards set by their culture or, perhaps even worse, the standards being promoted by the companies developing the technology.
