Assumption: 4th SuperClass of Assets is Born

3.
As humans we think linearly…

4.
…but the world is changing exponentially

5.
Example; 3D Printing
• Digitizing: Manufacturing
• Deceptive: Very slow growth stage
• Disruptive: Enter market 5yrs ago and now changing the
entire manufacturing field
• Dematerialize: Inventory
• Demonetized: Don’t need to carry Inventory. “In the
Cloud”.
• Democratized: “I Build locally on demand”.
