The Solution to the Economic Crisis is the Technology!

In my previous article “Our socio-economic model is dying and Us With” I wrote that we are in a social economic model is obsolete for many reasons, a model that creates poverty, crisis, famine, wars, environmental issues and others, many people do not have the answer to how to get out of this, politicians and economists are more than lost and overwhelmed by the current crisis, it seems incredible that have not realized that the solution is in technology!
That is about an economic crisis and social-environmental with teconologia

All, a great mistake of politicians and economists to think that these issues are separated, when they go hand in hand as always has been. Try to explain how it is that technology is what we need to succeed.

You’ll always have problems, but the problems we have been neither resolvido by politicians or economists (sorry to mention them both) problems have been solved thanks to technologists: scientists, engineers, technicians, inventors, thinkers, visionaries, it was they who invented the internet that allowed us teleconomunicaciones almost free when before we had to pay high telephony bills, invented the mass transport such as car, airplane, which allowed the train to move large numbers of people, goods and services much more cheaply, efficiently and across the world, also invented the washing machine, boiler, electrical energy, computers, telephones, movies, radio, TV, etc etc etc was they who invented the technology that solves problems it cheapens things and that makes our lives better.

What does the current crisis with all this? The crisis results from failures, errors, where a company is in crisis is because there are things that no longer serve, who fail to burst, companies no longer die when can solve the problems, the great empires of the world fell for that lost their ability to evolve, to innovate, renew, and that is what is happening at this time.

Imagine just imagine a world in which your car was completely electric, your water heater and electric stove were also, and this electricity was almost free because you would have solar panels on your roof that will provide this electricity virtually free, except for the investment you made in buying these solar panels. Also imagine your car to be electric and does not require oil changes, spark plugs and antifreeze and other things that it is electric, and is so durable that no longer have to renew every 5 or 7 years but has a useful life of maybe 30 or 50 years.

Do you think this is a dream? the truth is that it is not, is real or at least may be real, the existing electrical panels become cheaper and increasingly more, the electric cars already exist but are still expensive but also will go down in price and increasing its efficiency, in addition I will say that the electric car in existence since 1836 and existed before the gasoline engine never developed because the oil mafia never allow it, if you want to read more about it read here in wikipedia, then imagine that even if you win a little money and even stay unemployed llegarias to your home and no longer have to pay the bill for the electric light, gas or electric vehicle and your not being willing to pay gas electric, everything would take the sun and other renewable energy sources and free. That we would solve half-life and improve the quality of it tremendously.

On the cars you can also say that last decades, Henry Ford made his Model T very durable unlike the current every 5 or 10 years must renew by the “planned obsolescence” strategy to force us to consume and spend and poorer.

The technology that would make things become cheaper and there, and we can develop it further, but instead of investing in science and technology gastans world governments billions of dollars in their wars, such as afganstan and Iraq that cost an billion dollars, the world’s governments spend outrageous amounts of buying weapons, subsidize fossil fuels, imagine if that money invested in science and technology

What’s the problem with the current model? you do not like what is sustainable, durable and economical, why? abundant because it is not profitable, the air is vital but has no value if a product becomes so abundant and cheap is not profitable and finished the business, oil companies, bankers and governments around the world are not interested in people Renewable energy has free and are not interested to develop the electric car’s why so many decades it bloqueron if it starts coming out now because there is another. The current system creates Shortage by little it is expensive and profitable.

The technology is allowing the population to increase in size, we could not have grown so had it not been for the machines that can harar land much faster than hundreds of people or animals, because these foods also can travel thousands kms in hours, the mass transport and allowed travel cheapened the birth of a new industry called tourism, previously only the rich could travel for weeks and the world.

But our system was successful once is obsolete, because it relies on excessive consumption and irrational, 100 years ago the cars were not contaminated much because few, now in the millions, pollute our air and make us sick, change the climate and create problems, see 100 years ago the system worked well no longer, with many things has been the same.

The politicians think that by creating money out of thin resolve the problems, just calm down and elongate but not resolved, solving problems is the technology that allows more efficient and cheaper products and services.

Progress is not going to the moon, is that people live each day better than yesterday, that’s progress. The technology will allow us to live better, pollute less, work less, less dependent on money, have better quality of life, the food is healthier and cheaper. Here I leave a video or several videos explaining more about what technology can do for us and the world:
