Mobiles provide a near universal means of advancement because better communication and coordination save time (which translates to saving labor), money, and opportunities.
Producers of atoms still can't beam the physical objects through space, but they can use bitspeed--digital coordinationof all kinds--to bring reaction time down dramatically.
However, I think this is a time now that we need much better coordination, integration of the various agencies, particularly at the federal level, but also state and local.
