Of course, by this token Greenland would have a mad boom-bust
economy.

There will be no physical money. Our wages will be automatically
downloaded to our brains. We will be able to buy things via the power
of telepathy. I shall miss physical money in the 23rd century. The
pop group Cud were from the 23rd century, as highlighted in their
'hit' single "got a head full of loose change, because I'm a rich and
strange". Though the drawback of telepathic money is that everyone
knows how much money you have, which is why people with highly
advanced telepathetic minds will become the bankers of the 23rd
century, they will be able to sheild the minds of their clients from
unwanted 3rd eyes. They could also become super criminals. Man, the
23rd C sucks! :(

There may be no world for our childrens children in the 23rd century
unless we all pull together and sing Mull of Kintyre or something.

Strangely, I was going to say the same thing Jel said, so it must
be a Jungian unconcscious thing.

It will be in the form of pop star doll/action figure things. The
more records sold, the more they're worth.

That's not going to happen.

BUCKYBALLS! This disturbs me, largely because there was a
guy in my graduating high school class who called himself Bucky.

But it has to happen, imagine the worth of Julian Casablancas if they
start manufacturing Strokes dolls!

Complex organic compounds, which will be tested by getting thrown on a petri dish with testing compound. All bio-labs able to produce them will be registered as bio-terrorist/hazard threats anyway, so forging is near impossible.
By the way mark, I'm expecting a reply on the cale email I sent.
