It's interesting to cast the sort of accommodations new technology advocates have to make in the cast of 'what the old economy wants'. For example, "The old economy wants us to trust providers, experts and professionals who are being opaque, secretive about their processes, closed to amateur inputs and protective of their private knowledge." And "The old economy wants us to blindly accept the hype, hypocrisy and hullabaloo of push models of production, corporations spinning off toxic externalities and institutions turning a deaf ear to constituencies." How often do we have to give in to these sort of impetuses, even when they drag like anchors behind innovation?
