  2. Leapfrogging means that you are creating options.
  3. Leapfrogging synergizes classical and virtual realities.
  4. Leapfrogging means never having to say, “I’m catching up.”

  6. Leapfrogging creates past, present, and future co-realities.
  7. Leapfrogging creates new adventures and their novel social roles.
  8. Leapfrogging makes you more interesting, even if only to yourself.
  9. Leapfrogging can help divert the United States from its present decline.
  10. Leapfrogging is what came naturally — before you went to school.
