THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA IN TECHNOLOGY

The First Era

The Second Era
The second era advanced multi-modal, many-to-many communication via mobile, social, and streaming. It extended life and commerce into the app economy, facilitated the creation of self-selected digital communities—and a complete transformation of media economics.
-
The Third Era
The third era will be bigger: much better for some and much worse for others.
