Times are a-changin'

What issue or issues will most define our future?
A search for values. People want to believe in something more profound than "bigger, better, faster, new, and improved." Full lives need meaning and purpose beyond the fleeting gratification of rampant consumption. In the future, successful businesses will need to connect emotionally with customers. And transactions will be richer--more than goods and services exchanged for a fair price. They will be about building a relationship that increasingly buttresses and substitutes for the declining influence of family and organized religion in individuals' lives.

Seems like there is something subtle blowing in the wind, and it threatens to envelop us all very soon. As I said before, the world is getting better.
