What would you most like to teach?

I want to teach the "CRAPification" of everything a.k.a. the "Good Enough" lifestyle.

Cheap, fast, simple ways of living.

We get our breaking news from blogs, we make spotty long-distance calls on Skype, we watch video on small computer screens rather than TVs, and more and more of us are carrying around dinky, low-powered netbook computers that are just "Good Enough" to meet our surfing and emailing needs.

What can I say Gaians?   The low end has never been riding higher.

When jazz burst out of the brothels of New Orleans in the 1920s and into the speakeasies of Chicago and New York, most Americans said it was a savage form of music that corrupted the values of society.

So what happened?

Well, in short, "Technology" happened.

The world has sped up, become more connected and a whole lot busier.  As a result, what people want from the products and services they buy is fundamentally changing.

We now favor flexibility over high fidelity, convenience over features, quick and dirty over slow and polished.  Having here and now is more important than having it perfect.

These changes run so deep and wide, they're actually altering what we mean when we describe a product or service as "high-quality."

And it's happening everywhere, as more sectors connect to the digital world, from medicine to the military, they too are seeing the rise of "Good Enough" tools like this message I'm sending you Gaians.

Suddenly, what seemed perfect is anything but, and products and services that appear mediocre at first glance are often the perfect fit.

As the worst recession in 75 years rolls on Gaians, it's the light and nimble products and services that are having an impact.

To some it looks like the CRAPIFICATION of everything.  But it's really an improvement.

And Gaians need to get used to it, because the "Good Enough" revolution has only begun.
