The Computer Revolution.

Most businesses still operate according to a world view that hasn't changed since long.

The next revolution will be a response to changing patterns of lifestyle.
It will create new and different opportunities. The new businesses will have to adjust to these new realities.

Innovative companies are already doing just that.

As in the Industrial Revolution, new technologies (the steam engine at that time, the computer in our times) deeply changed the way of working, of producing, of living.

The steam engine meant less work to produce the same amount of goods, and consequently meant less jobs.
But that changed after a while.
More goods were consumed, because more goods became mass products, and therefore less expensive and easily reachable also to the mass.

A new working class was created by the Industrial Revolution, a new working class will be created by the Computer Revolution.

Less work to produce will mean services like the telephone at very affordable prices, lowering the cost will mean increasing the use.

That is why the business model MUST change.

No more big Monopolistic Companies, but many small entrepreneurs.
Less cost, more quality, more services.
Communication will be accessible to all, MUST become accessible to all.
