as an anthropology major, the continum of history never ceases to amaze me-the stone age, the copper age, the bronze age, the iron age, now, it seems, the silicon age. 500 years since C. Columbus is contextually such a short period of time, it's mind boggling, but here we are.
I remember Nov. 9 1989-the fall of the Berlin Wall-and all it stood for, basically the leveling of the world trade market, Russia, China, etc..
Great comments about Wal-Mart being China's 8th largest trade partner, the underoceanic fiber-optics possibilities and the power of the individual; water on a tray taking the path of least resistance and everybody trying to guess the future--I guess we'll find out one way or the other
