On Monday, one of the by-products of disintermediation hit me with the force of a…well…a hurricane, to be exact. We are more connected globally than ever before.

This Monday and Tuesday, three different online services I use went down because of Sandy. They all had data centers on the east coast.

Disintermediation means centralization, which means that we will have more contact with people and businesses that spread across the globe.
