[QUOTE="ShadoWWW, post: 4838659, member: 83445"] This relates to the crysis. A man can make only 5 things: 1) To work in farm sector, 2) to work in industry, 3) to work in service trades, 4) to be in public service or 5) to be unemployed. As civilization rises, most people come from farming to industry, then from industry to service trades. 80% workers in USA are employed in services, because farming and industry are technologically mastered and there is hard to create new opportunities. However, US economy is so advanced that services are going to be technologically mastered as well, especially due to internet. People in services lose their jobs. And now what? There are no new opportuties in farm sector. There are no new opportuties in industry. There are limited new opportunities in public service (because it doesn't make GDP). The unemployment is a big exclamation point. The lost jobs seem to be lost forever. It is cruel. And it is a challange as well. He who finds the cure he proves largely service to mankind. RPG market nowadays is affected much like US economy. Internet services (E-shop, E-mail, E-banking etc.) are great as well as cruel. The near future is the challange and the new world after will be be changed forever. [/QUOTE]
