eCommerce Is the Backbone of Life in the Global Village

#globaleconomy

Stability was the curse of the Industrial Age. Mass production cannot be sustained if everything is in flux. Producers must know that there will be a market for their goods or the investment risk is too high. Even the shortest downturn could send profits into a downward spiral.

This is not the case in the Global Village. Just about everything is in flux, constrained only by the needs of the moment. In the Industrial Park, this would be called "instant gratification" but, in the Global Village it is simply "business as usual" because everyone is linked into The Exchange.

eCommerce (also known as electronic commerce) is the process of buying and selling of products or services, making money transfers, and transferring data over an electronic medium (Internet). This network allows people to do business without the constraint of distance and time.

The Exchange is not just another Smart Phone APP like eBay or Trivago. It is a way of life in the Global Village. No need to "own" anything. Just use what you need at the moment and pay for it via the Exchange. Make money by letting go of the things you are not using at the moment. It is all handled instantly using the logistic capability of the eCommerce Exchange.

In the Industrial Park, poverty was defined as not having what you needed to sustain yourself over long periods of time.

Residents have had to use their high-level cognitive ability to anticipate what parts of contracted work will be fully automated and what parts will be so hard for machines to do that human-machine partnerships are the only feasible approach.

Our livelihood and even our survival now depends on our ability to leverage human-machine partnerships. We’ve always been tool-users; now we must learn how to become tool-partners.

Building a  global human-machine team may not be the final solution, but it offers the best pathway for survival in the Global Village. At least until residents can figure out how to translate  the inherent value of our personal intellectual property into a sustainable living.
