The Greatest Fortunes Of The Future

I remember when a computer was something that sat in a big building owned by a bank or government office. The idea that there would be one in every home someday was simply too wild to comprehend. So was the idea that most business would one day be done on computers communicating with each other through a network.

Who would have ever imagined that the richest man in the world would be someone who started out with an idea - an idea to make computers easier to use. Who could have ever imagined that fortunes could be made by people who did not make products, or physically distribute them - but simply inform others about them?

That is the business of Intellectual Distribution.

Economist, author and trend forecaster, Paul Zane Pilzer says: "The greatest fortunes to be made in the years ahead, will not be made in what people were doing 5, 10 or 15years ago. They will be made in industries that most people today don’t even realize exist, or don’t yet think of as “industries.”'

Pilzer goes on to say:
"The fortunes to be made in the years ahead will not be predominantly in physical delivery but in education—not in physical distribution, but in intellectual distribution: educating consumers about products and services that will improve their lives, but that they either don’t yet know about or don’t yet know are now affordable.

And because technology is advancing so rapidly and making so many new products, that gap is huge and growing larger every day—which means that the opportunity of intellectual distribution is continually increasing"
