Name: Ryan

From: Texas

Bio: Network Engineer

Area of Expertise: Technology Developer/Administrator

Topic: Economic structures

Headline: smaller economic world

Nutshell: The net will draw us closer and closer to each other "economically." It's rather simple.

Vision:

I don’t really see the world staying isolated, as conservatives would have it, but rather with the amount of information exhanging hands the economy is bound to follow. Granted, international business is operating in the trillions, but what I’m talking about is more communication between 1st and 3rd world countries. I feel that internet will play a role in closing the gap between 1st and 3rd world countries.
