Trying to save hours/days... the speaker wasted a day walking to get medicine from a person that didn't have it.

The Six Killer Apps of Prosperity
Another intereting TED Talk...
Niall Ferguson - The Six Killer Apps of Prosperity:
1. Competition
2. The Scientific Revolution
3. Property rights
4. Modern medicine
5. The consumer society
6. The work ethic
Definitely worth 15-20 minutes of your time to listen to his discussion of why some regions have been more prosperous over time and why they may be losing that advantage now. He suggests that "we" aren't paying attention. I submit that if would read half the blogs I follow, he would know that many of us are acutely aware of the decline.
