My twin 6 year old boys, my wife and I just left Thomas & Mack where we watched the Runnin’ Rebels crush Colorado St. What a game!
This puts the Rebels at 20 wins and 7 losses overall, including 8 wins in the Mountain West Conference (5 losses) in dominating fashion (in the case of today’s drubbing of the Rams).
So you’re probably wondering why the subject of local college sports warrants a blog post? (and yes, I do know I said my next post would be on the Financial Advisor Due Diligence from Paladin Registry, but that post needs a bit more thought and detail…). It does for many reasons – it’s local, it’s economic, it’s exciting, and it’s a departure from our everyday lives which is a nice escape!
The driving reason behind this posts relevancy however, is technology. I’m posting just minutes after a strong and decisive Rebels victory from my iPhone.
Yes, technology is wonderful. Pull up an “app”, and start typing. Next thing you know you’re reading my thoughts on ANY subject matter in an amazingly timely fashion!
Technology drives our economy now just as industrialization did in years past. Industrialization made us stronger, more productive, and gave us a better quality of life overall. Technology does the same for us now. Technology will drive our economy into an amazing level of productivity exponentially more than it has in the last two or three decades.
Why is this important to you as a consumer, as an investor, as a retiree? Progress and productivity drive profits and economic expansion. Profits and economic expansion drive your personal investments over long periods of time. It’s just that simple…
So, GO REBELS, and GO TECHNOLOGY! Let’s hope both drive us into a prosperous and peaceful future!
