mc l uhan on the future
«a friend said the future is the future present. if you really are
curious about the future, just study the present. only those
who have learned to perceive the present can predict the
future. they need only predict what has already happened by
being the first to see trough pattern recognition. for the future
is the future present»

lack of spirituality
people all over the world are seeking for a new truth and reality,
there is a move away from tradition and superstitious religions.
they are perceived as old fashion, rigid and non-problem seeking.

this language use much higher grade of symbols , signs
and logos, because the way we perceive and sort
visual objects are much faster than the written word

the reality check give us the foundation to predict certain directions that makes an impact and influence in our lives. the main question: how are the consumer affected by these happenings and directions? how does the new consumer look like? the new business, opportunities and treats?
