  Geoff, you are looking for "something really big" that could change the way people live their lives.
  To find such thing, maybe we have to dismiss our way of thinking about the functionality of the actual economy.
  Imagine a world where people can work whenever they like to, whatever they like to, and for whoever they like to!!!
  Sounds to good to be true, right?
  But it is simply a question of changing the way that we nowadays reward an employee.
  If we pay him/her the value created and not the time spended, this is already possible.
  I would like to draw your atention to the following link on vator.tv:

  It refers to the PRiPO project, that is exactly organizing a "new economy" with the goal of value creation and value conservation.
  Participants are just paid for the value they produce and on a credit base (delayed). That asures a "high speed growth" of the system.
  The system offers overall "Ego Boosting" products and consumer orientated services.
  Maybe you like it.
