Something that you'll (if)get only a quarter of it's value back when it's time for your gift.
Did Freud hypothesize that when he was on or off coke?

I have never dated another air sign yet, most of my friends happen to be Geminis. My closest female friend is a Libra. Everybody in my family with the exception of my capricorn sister is an air sign. The point is I really don't get connect with negative signs but, I end up dating them mainly because I don't know of any single female air signs. One of my new year's resolutions will be to only date air signs. What I'm curious to know is which one would I be more compatable with? I've never personally known an aquarian girl. All the Geminis I know are men. I can't really date the only available Libra I know. I'm really attracted to the loyalty and adorability i find in Libras. I have always enjoyed the company of geminis but, I too often find them to be way too superficial and unloyal. I think I could find unwanted competition in another aquarius but maybe I could find understanding from one. I'd also be more sexually compatable with an aquairius. I read different things from different site but I'd like to know what other aquarians think.

...that will transform society - Richard Watson, FastCompany.com
1. Globalization: Globalization used to mean Americanization, but these days it means exposure to people, products, and ideas from everywhere. Globalization impacts on the sourcing of products and services, and on market-expansion opportunities.
It also means connectedness and mobility. Everything from countries and computers to gadgets and global banking will be hyper-linked together. In the future, this trend will accelerate even faster, thanks to devices such as GPS, RFIDs, sensor motes, and smart dust (all essentially tiny wireless transmitters and/or receivers of some kind). Hence privacy will all but disappear, but transparency and risk may increase.
2. Localization: Localization (or re-localization) is a perfect example of a trend creating a counter-trend. Localization will occur because people don't like globalization or homogenization. The European Union will therefore splinter and ultimately collapse. This new tribalism will drive city states, locally tailored products, economic protectionism, and the sale of flags.
3. Polarization: The future is an either/or kind of place with most things polarizing in some form or another. First there will be multiple futures, some of them speeding up and others slowing down. Some people with embrace technology, while others will reject it. Industrial markets will split between luxury and low-cost options, with access to services like health and education, transport, and security similarly polarizing, depending on your ability to pay.
The middle class will eventually disappear in most developed countries, with people either moving upwards into a new global managerial elite or downwards into a new enslaved working (or not working) class.
4. Anxiety: If 'they' don't get you, a global pandemic probably will. At least that's how many people will feel in the future. Trust in institutions will all but evaporate, and the speed of change will leave people longing for the past.
This insecurity is to some extent generational, but whether you are eighteen or eighty there will be a growing feeling of powerlessness and a continual state of anxiety that will fuel everything from an interest in nostalgia and escapism to a growth in narcissism, localization, and tribalism.
