People are no longer passive consumers. They are empowered. They get what they
need from each other. They are becoming an industry: empowered by tech (social,
mobile, IoT) and self-organizing. If you want to be successful as an organization, you
need to align with this “revival of the hippie” trend.

are tech-savvy and deploy tech in their advantage. Everything they do has a purpose.
