When you travel and see the ruins of bygone societies, it drives home how quickly dominant systems can be disrupted. Today with the internet, we have perhaps the biggest disruptor in history and it could turn our factories and warehouses into ruins too, evidence of a time when we built things and stored them in huge buildings. How are you preparing your company?

Ron: It is a paradigm shift, but the industry will change form and adapt, if it is free to do so. Rome went under due to "bread & drama for the people (masses)" ("panem et circenses" in Latin). We have seen this with subsidizing of the ship building industry in Sweden in the 70's and the bail-out of the auto industry in the US in 00's.

Thanks for your thought provoking post!
