Cool share. Inconveniences of being able/having to check email for work at all hours aside, the free digital economy does add immeasurable improvements and conveniences to our lives. As the overall economy stagnates (as measured by GDP) my compensation for my career as an educator has also stagnated. Now, though, for free, I can learn and share ideas on Hubski in an intelligent community. It's a form of entertainment and I'm also a better educator for it. Yeah it has value.
