TI revenues
Texas Instruments gets 85 percent of their revenues from outside of the country. That is a phenomenal fact when you think of the subprime housing market mess we keep hearing about. Globalization is here and it's time to start thinking about the new world economy, though I doubt its new anymore. A couple exciting changes I see in the near future:
1. The music industry will become a machine featuring diverse markets and a ton of choice.
2. The internet becoming the market of choice for 95 percent of the worlds goods ( as our economy continues to mature, I think that the future of what people will do for a living will become programming and web based. I believe that gaming is our future, and that people will find ways to make a living in programming more and more )
3. As technology continues to mature and the internet becomes more mobile, look to see a revolution for online content. I think social networks are going to become increasingly obsolete as people start taking their content with them wherever they please.
Google reported their crazy profits the other day and it was said that 49% comes from overseas. I think as other economies mature that it will just keep getting bigger and bigger. Learn to create online. Should be good times. Im excited to see what happens.

The big loser in this new media
Seems to me that the local affiliates will be. My question is what will happen as more people migrate to the internet to watch their television shows. I know right now the networks are paying the affiliates a percentage based on how many times a show is viewed both on pay per view and on the internet, but what happens when the networks decide to stop doing that.
If or when this happens the affiliates will be out of the loop and in a position of no power. What exactly do they have that the networks would want? The advertisers sure are not going to want to pay them when everyone is going elsewhere to watch the shows.
With the new version of mpeg coming out that should enable downloads speeds multiples faster then they currently are, this would allow all tv channels to move online where they can incorporate the new media experience into what their shows are.
Hasn't lonelygirl15 taught us anything? If she did it's that people want to be a part of the experience. I am quite happy that a show like heroes is going to take us in that direction. Heroes will be the one to take us into the new deal.

Undertaking life before it takes you under
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under. These were the words of a young emcee on the New York streets, but just as easily could have been a person in any corner of this planet. We live in the greatest country in the world, yet our international standing is on the decline. We maim countless persons each and every day in the name of fighting terror while throughout the world various global conflicts of various sizes are ongoing at an increasing rate.
We are worried about considering something that happened years ago genocide when right at this very moment that same thing is taking place in parts of Africa, and what can we do? What is there to do? It seems hopeless. Some people think that it's inevitable. Some people think that fundamentalist terrorists are to fault.
I say we look at ourselves first. I say that you and I are to blame. Why are we blaming the President for getting us into this mess when we the people are a greater mass than this one person. Yes he leads our country but he is only one man, a man who is being pulled in many directions by forces that are not the will of the people.
People forget though, forget that the whole is greater than its pieces. Our purpose here is to function. No more no less, we are to try and do what we can to survive. In the days of an increasing global economy I think it's time to band together and realize that there is a way. We need to stop waiting for that bright holiday and make it happen now.
They have the armies but we have the power, we are the people. We need to stop taking for granted the values inherent in the people. We need to do what we can do quell the primal urge for self preservation and realize that this need will be met the more we work together.
The revolution will not be televised, it will take place on the new media, the one we control. If we take the control back, if we develop the system necessary, if we can get together, we can be free. The jungle will once again be ours and we will undertake it.
