#Fast cars and freedome tv

Published in Culture, General, Technology The blue-state model of top-down, structured bureaucracyВ is dying, and thereвЂ™s a new world out there, whereВ people have the will and the ability to make their lives better in ways we canвЂ™t imagine.

And rather than hope that there will be a cop around when we really need one, weвЂ™re accustomed to being in charge of our own security. WeвЂ™re used to going where we want, when we want, without having to rely on the whims of public transit. ItвЂ™s in our DNA, which is why Americans are leading todayвЂ™s tech revolution. If I want to know if the hotel IвЂ™m staying in is dicey, I have Trip Advisor (and if it turns out that hotel is not right for me, AirBnB is able to provide an alternative place to rest for the the night).ДЄmericans understand the idea of personal empowerment. If I want to order something from Amazon,В it usually shows up on my doorstep within two days through my Amazon Prime membership. We are entering an new age of personal empowerment. My young sons look at the days when I had to get up on Saturday morning (and only on Saturday morning) to watch cartoons the way I once looked at the days when dairy products wereВ delivered door-to-door. DVRs and on-demand streaming options are now the order of the day. Where once we had to schedule our time around the shows we wanted to watch, television now fits into our schedules. Specifically, on howВ Netflix, the mother of all disruptors, is facing disruption from overseas expansion.
