Creating Value - Part 8
In the last seven sequels we wrote about the early beginnings of creating values, continued with the rise of craftsmen, explorers and merchants. We explained the importance of the first manual machines and how it all led to industrialization, continued with how oil exploitation business reached its heights and we ended with the birth of corporations and how it led to blooming of finance services. Today we'll continue further. If you haven't read the first seven parts, please find them here:

When the corporations got so big that the entire world became "incorporated", the economy became completely dependent on them. These dehumanized monsters started to employ millions and millions of people. The corporate machine became more important than not only a single individual but also large groups of people. The value created by such monstrosities skyrocketed, as well as the need for even greater profits. Ordinary people started buying tiny, little chunks of corporations. The world became big business. Everyone looked to become financially independent from dividends and differences of buying and selling shares. Today, they tell us that governments still have more real power than multinational corporations. However, it is highly questionable.
With so many people incorporated into the financial system, the need for sorting the enormous amounts of data became the top priority. Information age dawned from the shadows of corporations and finance sector. Yet again, a new class of people comes on top. The computer entrepreneurs, the Internet wizards, social network gurus and an ocean full of likes starts to provide the new value. It happened right at the time when things became seemingly stable and there was no foreseeable direction for the further creation of new values. The information age provided a brand new vision, a glowing light for next generations. It probably saved us from unemployment, huge unrests and global wars. Millions got employed because of digital technologies, human race found a new way to create value and bravely continue to strive for new borders. It turned our eyes toward completely new horizons.
The information age provided an enormous amount of perceived new value. It dwarfed everything ever seen before. The pixels on the screen in front of our eyes became worth more than all the food ever produced by hunters and gatherers. Isn't that absolutely unbelievable?
However, sitting in front of a monitor for endless hours is not the healthiest way of living and we, as a society, pay that price. This is the first time in history that people can do literary everything from their armchairs. Nobody even needs to take a walk to the groceries anymore. It is not a healthy prospect for the future. How many of us will be able to survive if Internet and mobile telephones go off during a sunny day? The information age brought along a ton of health issues. Pharmaceutical corporations cash in billions on account of that fact.
Health, medicine and food should have never been submitted to profit and greed of faceless corporations. The huge systems may be beneficial for ore production or car industry or computer manufacturing or anything else not directly involving human well-being. Whatever we eat and cure ourselves with, should have stayed outside that system. I seriously ask myself how could we be so stupid to let huge, dehumanized systems decide on the general direction of our health and well-being? We should've known better.
How do we challenge health issues of the information age? Can we reverse human health business and take it out of the claws of profit, greed and dividends? What do you do to counter the negative effects of IT technology way of life on your body?
Let us know what you think about it!
