Max Hobrough, epilogue, question 6

When I was reading the section on if we will have strip malls in 2050 and I could clearly see that everywhere I look as the economy is turning around the cost of things doesn't matter as much. Even right by my house they were planning on building a strip mall by my house but they had to cancel their plans and sell the land because everyone preferred downtown Stillwater with the specialty shops. I knew this because my mom dealt with these people because they were going to have a bunch of ATM's there. This is just very interesting to me because people's perspectives of money change so much when they have more money. So in 2050 the quality of life seems to be raised quite a bit higher and so then there is more wealth in every class of people. Due to the rise of the economy after time these visual preferences on how the product looks rather than functions will be a much higher priority. The picture may be portrayed as being small but if this does happen then there could potentially be a trickle down effect that could help out a lot, due to the flow of currency and people's willingness to give to charities. Overall this book added new ideas to my knowledge and also strengthened them to comprehend and think differently about situations that I would previously not think as deep about.
