 Not so long ago I flicked through the papers and magazines,
 as part of my morning ritual.

Digital content (r)evolution


                                                                                  2012 beyond
                                                                            Smart phones, tablets and apps are fast
                            2009                                            changing our habits. Content access is
                                                                             controlled by users, not publishers.
                               It took over a decade for the market to
                              mature with smart phones shifting from a
                             niche product to providing digital access to
                                the masses. In 2009 we also saw social
                              networks habits solidify for the first time.

                      1998
       WAP enabled mobile phones were launched in the late
         nineties during the hight of the internet bubble.
       The user experience was terrible and didn’t have the
                power to change consumer habits.




 Flipboard has 20 million users, adding one user per second!
 Pinterest is the fastest website to grow beyond 10 million users.
marijn@fluidnations.com
This has become my morning ritual.
 What are your own emerging digital habits?

China’s digital habits

 created and the works were hung.”
