consumer innovation and the digital future
T HE FUTURE IS NOW. All the
traditional industries we
grew up with are all in the
process of being turned upside
down and re-invented. At the heart
of this revolution is not just a trans-
formation in technology, but a shift
in mindset. When every consumer
on the planet is connected to each
other - the network is more than just
a business tool. It is an imagin-
arium for bringing new ideas to life.
After all, as interesting as it is when
things change, the real magic
happens when people do.Ā

1. FUTURETAINMENT
Yesterday the World Changed, Now Itās Your Turn
From the wild copyright warzones of Asia to the newly colliding forces
of Silicon Valley and Hollywood, there is a new generation of young
consumers challenging what it means to live in a digital world. Smart,
connected, and mobile ā the 'Naturals' have never known a world
without the Web. The big idea at the heart of Futuretainment is that we
have moved from an era of broadcast networks to audience networks,
through which consumers have now taken charge of how brands are
discovered, shared and popularized. Forget technology - the future of
your business will be being shaped by anthropology. For marketers and
business leaders alike, understanding the new patterns of online
consumer behavior will be essential for both success and survival. Mike For marketers and business

3. THE DIVERGENCE
Why the Future of The Web Will Be Like Nothing You Know Today
What we think of the Web today is only a fraction of its future
potential. The Divergence marks the point where everything we know
about the digital world will change. In the coming years, the emerging
markets of China, India and Brazil will rapidly overtake the West not
only in their rates of economic growth, but as the dominant commercial
and cultural inļ¬uences on the development of the Web. How we
interact, transact and entertain ourselves in the future will be shaped
by new forms of consumer behavior never seen this side of Silicon
Valley. Forget everything you know about West Coast Web etiquette.
Tomorrow's Web will be a milieu of competing cultures - simultaneously
a source of conflict and also a wellspring of consumer innovation.

Energyās Networked Future
Information may be power, but power is also be information. Global
environmental concerns are driving not only new investment in
renewable energy but also the transformation of the analog power grid
into a smart, digital network. What we think of today as a simple
electricity outlet will soon become a node in a new networked
ecosystem of appliances, applications, and consumer data. The rise of
the Enerweb will attract both new kinds of players and encourage new
forms of consumer behavior, forever changing the way we think about
energy.Ā

While faster processors, bigger screens and more powerful features
steal the headlines - the true mobile revolution plays out daily in
its continuing impact on the way we live, work and play. The next
generation of phone technology is less about innovative hardware, and
more about providing consumers with ubiquitous, high speed access to
our social, professional and entertainment networks. From location
based technologies, to gesture based interfaces and integrated
financial services - the future of your phone may be no phone at all.
For advertisers and platform providers alike - the secret to under-

today's consumer is already changing.
