Making the Complex SimpleŽ

An overwhelming cry is beginning to ring out across this nation.  People are screaming for simpler lives and life-styles.  Time magazine recently ran a cover story regarding aging baby boomers relocating from cosmopolitan areas to the perceived simpler surroundings of this country's great rural communities. 

Of course, as soon as these refugees settle in they begin to become actively involved in changing their adopted surroundings to ones that are more efficient and productive.  They are complicating the simple.  At the same time, many are creating new and innovative "virtual" industries by using the technological tools which allow us to transcend space and time.  Thus, they are simplifying the complex.  Interesting.

We live in a very fast moving, very complicated society.  Everyone is seemingly attempting to carve out their own individual universe by using technologies that actually bring the people of the world closer together.  Privacy and anonymity tend to recede as information becomes more and  more accessible.  We crave independence and individual rights.  Yet, recent statistics indicate the average citizen carries more credit card debt than ever before.  

How independent is that?
