As the world has evolved from the age of industrialization to the Networked Society, the nature of consumption has also changed.
The evolution of consumers’ consumption patterns is intertwined with the disruptions that have transformed industries, cities and society alike. Businesses that grasp the new reality will be the ones that survive transformation to grow and flourish.
Furthermore, the evolving nature of consumption means that growth no longer has to be at the expense of the global environment.

The Industrial Age marked one of the great transformations in human history. Mass manufacturing both enabled and required mass consumption and highly organized labor forces. The flood of people from rural societies to cities accelerated social and economic changes. For the first time in history, consumption became a leisure activity and individuals became defined by their patterns of consumption.
http://www.ericsson.com/thinkingahead/networked_society/commerce_reports
The Networked Society encourages a rise of meritocracy and the formation of a creative elite – a development that is both empowering and challenging. Within this order, merit is increasingly defined by a new set of emerging values, such as knowledge, transparency, fairness, quality of experience, authenticity, sociality, healthiness, and simplicity.
http://www.ericsson.com/thinkingahead/networked_society/commerce_reports
The 20th century elevated consumption to be central and critical to the economic system, occurring as a consequence of the way production and labor were organized. But by the dawn of the new century, developed societies were grappling with the challenge of creating a more humane form of consumption, driven by three major forces: lower labor demands in technological industry, erosion of the social contract, and the environmental costs of reckless consumption on increasingly scarce natural resources.
http://www.ericsson.com/thinkingahead/networked_society/commerce_reports
Consumption is no longer the straightforward, disproportionate exchange of the Industrial Age. The consumer in the Networked Society is more complex, more involved, and more versatile than ever before. Today we need a nuanced understanding of the consumer – someone who consumes products and services while behaving and contributing in many new ways. In the Networked Society, we see the consumer take on new roles, as user, co-creator, ennobler, enabler, producer, and activist.

The novel coronavirus has made supply chains everyone's business. On top of that, the climate crisis is forcing us to come to grips with how man-made supply chains affect the environment.
Put simply; Human activity is causing climate change. All human activity is driven by supply chains. We can't solve the climate crisis until we refashion global supply chains such that they no longer harm our environment.
Working on climate change without first refashioning supply chains is like treating the symptoms of a disease without curing the underlying illness.
In this booklet, Lisa Morales-Hellebo and I explore why the transformation of supply chains is inevitable, and why that presents the biggest investment opportunity of our lifetime.

The Income Transfer Program through which the State would provide income to the unemployed would be put into practice together with the adoption of the Creative Economy and the Social and Solidarity Economy as a solution to mass unemployment resulting from technological advancement.
Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of the society which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily, leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to society . . . . He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, and in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was not part of his intention.

Consumerism is the theory that individuals who consume goods and services in large quantities will be better off. Some economists believe that consumer spending stimulates production and economic growth. Consumerism is the selfish and frivolous collecting of products, or economic materialism. Consumerism is the idea that increasing the consumption of goods and services purchased in the market is always a desirable goal, and that a person's well-being and happiness depend fundamentally on obtaining consumer goods and material possessions.
In the economics sense, consumerism is related to the predominantly Keynesian idea that consumer spending is the key driver of the economy and that encouraging consumers to spend is a major policy goal. From this point of view, consumerism is a positive phenomenon that fuels economic growth.
Others view the drive to obtain more material possessions as a problematic, causing individual anxiety and eroding the social fabric.

Ericsson Technology Review: Optimizing UICC modules for IoT applicationsEricsson
Commonly referred to as SIM cards, the universal integrated circuit cards (UICCs) used in all cellular devices today are in fact complex and powerful minicomputers capable of much more than most Internet of Things (IoT) applications require. Until a simpler and less costly alternative becomes available, action must be taken to ensure that the relatively high price of UICC modules does not hamper IoT growth.
This Ericsson Technology Review article presents two mid-term approaches. The first is to make use of techniques that reduce the complexity of using UICCs in IoT applications, while the second is to use the UICCs’ excess capacity for additional value generation. Those who wish to exploit the potential of the UICCs to better support IoT applications have the opportunity to use them as cryptographic storage, to run higher-layer protocol stacks and/or as supervisory entities, for example.
Mobile data traffic volumes are expected to increase by a factor of four by 2025, and 45 percent of that traffic will be carried by 5G networks. To deliver on customer expectations in this rapidly changing environment, communication service providers must overcome challenges in three key areas: building sufficient capacity, resolving operational inefficiencies through automation and artificial intelligence, and improving service differentiation. This issue of ETR magazine provides insights about how to tackle all three.

Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Infograph: The evolution of the consumer
1. As the world has evolved, so too has the
nature of consumption.
In the Networked Society, the disruptions
that transform industries, cities and socie-
ty also change the role of the consumer –
only businesses that grasp the new reality
will survive and flourish. And the emerging
forms of consumption mean that growth
no longer has to be at the expense of the
global environment.
In 1919 General Motors began to promote giving
loans to people who bought cars. Americans started
using the new credit plans on just about everything.
The mentality is commonly
thought to be the beginning of
the American consumer culture.
When GM introduced the yearly
automobile model change in
1925, people began to want
the latest model.
Phrase coined by conceptual
artist, Barbara Kruger, regarding
American consumerism.
Technological automation is eliminating
traditional jobs as we know them.
People take part in society as
consumers rather than workers.
Consumption becomes
a continuous activity as
consumers go mobile.
The pre-agrarian era was an age of hunting and gathering.
Each individual was skilled at all tasks essential to survival,
regardless of individual abilities.
The coming of the agricultural revolution allowed
people to make far more food than before, freeing
up some of the members of society for other roles,
such as carpenter, blacksmith, artist, performer,
philosopher and eventually a merchant class.
The Industrial Revolution marks a major turning point in history;
almost every aspect of daily life was influenced in some way.
In particular, average income and population began to exhibit
unprecedented sustained growth.
As we enter the networked era, we can see that the age
of industrialization has perhaps been an anomaly. Now
that technology allows it, people are turning away from
the industrial and modernistic way of life and seeking a
meaning and belonging in structures and organizations
that resemble pre-industrial ages: in collectives,
in communities, in networks.

Once hunter-gatherers transitioned into
agriculturalists, they could comfortably
move beyond survival mode and produce
surpluses for more bartering.

likely established in 100-110 when
Rome’s Trajan Market was build.

Read more about consumption in the Networked Society on:
www.ericsson.com/thinkingahead/networked_society/commerce_reports
Specialist consumers consume to produce new value
and meaning, which other people can then consume.
In many cases the consumer as producer reaches skills
where she’s actually competing with traditional
commercial providers on the market (e.g. makers
and urban farmers).
Thanks to large scale
networked access, barter
trade is coming back.
