Mutation proliferation equals diversity. Vernacular. Dialects. Tech speak. Techese. Code and totalitarian syntax. Globalization and speed and short term scarcity econ eroding vernacular at the same time making it a museum. A zoo. Financial categorical runaway. Date-ist new discrimination. Domination indexing. Date stamping as control over trace. Like a lasso tool.
In 1995, the United States signed onto the World Trade Organization and its associated copyright and patent agreement, the TRIPS Agreement, and the American economy was transformed. The practical upshot, 12 years later, is that most American manufacturing has gone belly up, Wal-Mart is filled with Happy Meal toys and other cheaply manufactured plastic goods, and the whole world has signed onto U.S. copyright laws.
An "information economy" can't be based on selling information. Information technology makes copying information easier and easier. The more IT you have, the less control you have over the bits you send out into the world. It will never, ever, EVER get any harder to copy information. The information economy is about selling everything except information.
