Convergence

"Convergence" is the key word for the future! Google it to see what it means. It's applicable for our political, financial, economic, religious, medical, insurance, educational, and spiritual worlds. Check-out Microsoft's "Windows Live" set of tools to see an example of this.

Some have believed that the Internet is the new version of the "Tower of Babel"; now with more and more convergence, it's clear that the Internet is getting easier and easier to use to merge various aspects of our lives, connect people & institutions & companies & the gov't. more and more, so that it seems to be very good and useful, and, making our world "smaller", but, maybe we need to beware of the consequences?
