These are the main ‘trend’ groups I belong to, support and actively participate in. I think its quite a unique collection of groups. To some they may seem diverse but to me they are perfectly aligned movements that will combine to be at the heart of society in the 21 century.

Sunday, August 17th, 2008choices takes a long time
Saturday, August 16th, 2008Looking or searching for a product can take a long time, especially if you have an image or ideas in your head to match too. It can be as simple as wanting a specific color. You google search, ebay, amazon.com the choices, back to google to find jewellery websites or specialist watch retailers or the manufacturers site. It a matching in efficiency. Times ticks on.
Personalizing a product takes time but we will soon get to a stage where the time is less than time to do all the above activities. There is an extra bonus too, the cost will be lower. All the choice equals an inventory (stock) levels to be high. Aggregate across a whole industry and the totals are massive and those are paid for in the price of each product. Time in personalization will pass in expressing the ideas in your head and gaining the full picture of the product but those will be automatically brought to the user as they control the making of their product, a personalized product.
