during my lifetime and for hundreds of years. Someone
the other day said… ‘It’s the biggest thing since writing’”
Rupert Murdoch

3. When adopted, digital becomes the primary media channel for consumers and
is already the leading channel for online users in many rapid growth markets
as well.
For consumers in these markets, internet access is often a new experience
and so these consumers are not tied to legacy uses of the internet. Digital
is transformational for these consumers, and offers opportunities to engage
in new experiences. It is therefore is more aspirational activity than for
consumers in mature markets where the internet has become a more
commoditised experience over time.
This leads to consumers that are more engaged in the category,and willing to
be more active and have a voice in the digital world.As infrastructure improves,
consumers in the top tier of rapid growth markets are well positioned to rule
the world.
