Distributed Units of Wealth

I have said in the past that humans are now units of consumption rather than units of production, with automation and IT disintermediation taking care of production these days.

Currently I believe that humans are concentrators of the outcomes of productivity. If you will, little distillers of wealth that is intended for consumption.

For example, even in the poorest slum, people will find a way to be able to afford a mobile phone. Hence all humans can be targeted by the purveyors of products and services.

Owning the relationships with the humans is equivalent to controlling a large resource of wealth concentrators.

You can think of us now as a distributed unit of wealth concentration, with very little differences between the units. We are almost manufactured, if you will.
