Old, rigid, top-down models are unable to adapt to the rapid changes ahead of us and will face certain extinction unless they adopt the new paradigm afforded by emerging tech innovations. Time is the commodity we lack most in overcoming the barriers. Gathering sufficient time resources will depend less on money and more on social capital within our community connections.
