This is the first time I've ever known what the trading system was called, It's called bartering. I recently traded a book that was of no use to me for a book I've never read. I've also traded a helping hand for another helping hand. I am thinking that if our economy goes at a downfall we may be able to survive by going back to the traditional ways of the bartering system.

I watched a doc**entary a long time ago. It said something that made me think for a long while. It was true. The brilliant piece of information that I had to think over was:
If there was no debt, we wouldn't have a need for money.
Take some time to think over this, is it true or not?
Unfortunately that debt will never go away. Therefore money will always exist. And as I look at our economy right now, there is too much…

In 2020 I'd love to get a wh*** bunch of people to sign there name. Which means that they want clean water. After the list has traveled the world I'd like to send all presidents a copy. Another thing I'd like to do is create a national pump day, where everyone lines up at a pump and pumps gallons and gallons of water until their hands tire out.

Everyone has touched their music player, cell phone, computer, tv remote in the last 12 hours right? Well it's an everyday instinct. You press a couple buttons and it comes to life. But what if there were no buttons? What if it was like the iTouch, but instead of touching the screen you touch your arm? Or you could touch the closest hard surface and control your computer that is miles away? I think that Technology is heading in that direction already. Next thing we know. We'll be touching our…

I did a community service project where I went to elderly living communities and helped mow there lawns, pull weeds, trim the overgrown plants, cut branches. Iv'e also planted some vegetables and fruits. It was a great experience for me in learning how to do yard work like this. Because this work was done for free, i'm pretty sure that the elders I volunteered for have a garden which they can enjoy.

2020 is not that far. Just 10 years! But technology is advancing faster than those 10 years. In 2020, pen and paper will be extinct! More years and people will forget that you can make paper with trees. It's so exciting to see where life gets us, yet so depressing to see that we can't even keep up with the current technology. At least we EVOKIANS will find a way to get people off the computer or phone and thinking about solutions to the social world. I admit that I am not doing much to change…
