Smart Mob

A new trend in mobilizing angry, and sometimes hostile protesters is expanding worldwide via cloud and smart phone technologies. These individuals have a common theme in voicing their dissent, subjects such as unemployment, Austerity, elimination of health care and retirement benefits, inflation on fuel and food and rising Educational costs are inciting a mob mentality and resulting in violence. A Google employee implemented this process through social networks and Face book, and the result was the overthrow of Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak. Multiple events have occurred across the globe with the most recent in London. The middle class is being squeezed out and the rich are getting richer. A new breed of class warfare is inevitable under these conditions, and we will probably see the overthrow and prosecution of several leaders for crimes against the people. Globalization is a good thing if it is tempered properly but can also be manipulated and abused by the corrupt and greedy, as we have seen in this devastating economic downturn. Debt contagion is probably our greatest threat to the future health of economy's worldwide and we are in need of comprehensive and sustainable solutions NOW not later.
