But even if it's only 1% of the time that average Joe does something like upload his reaction commentary to the talk or sports or entertainment radio he heard on that drive home, that's all it will take for our world to be massively different. Thanks for participating in the conversation, by the way. ;) Oscar, I’m thinking that given the choice between sitting

However… what surplus are we talking about? People are woking longer hours, in more stress; are afraid for their jobs and their specializations are so narrow that they need to read up on their fields everyday. Great concept – Im all for it – but when your average Joe goes back home after 10 hours at the office and 2 hours spent in traffic… he might not really feel the need to engage something intellectually. Hope Im not being too negative here. This is a great speech. However… what surplus are we talking about?
