Some great conclusions and contributions there @clumsysilverdad. Thank you. I admit that when I first heard the concept of openness it went against the grain of how I'd viewed the fight for freedom but after playing with the concept in my mind for a moment it crystallized as quite a viable option.

The future is fascinating not just because of the tech but the way it requires challenging preconceived ideas. I blogged about that when visiting a Tesla showroom recently. I enjoyed questioning a number of fundamentals I just held as gospel because all I've known is internal combustion engine vehicles. Rewiring the brain is so interesting, wouldn't you say?
