Of course there will be dislocation on a massive scale. That happens everytime one is hit by a TSUNAMI and has to react to it. And you are right in stating,

"Everyone will need a chunk of the future, if not e.Digital some other issue."

Your comment, however, pre-supposes that every one understands the existence of the TURNING POINT at this juncture in the Human History. That my friend, I doubt. And there lies the basis of a lot of unnecessary misery inflicted on a lot human beings...

I just saw "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE"... You think we have it BAD because EDIG is $.10 Cents. You should see that movie to see LIFE IN THE RAW in the rest of the world...
