Welcome to the future

It's 2011, you can post a timeline of your entire life on Facebook, get unlimited music with Spotify, and create a blog in the same day, all for free. We are all creators now, producers of ourselves and our own art. It wasn't always like this. Things that used to matter, now don't.

Take location, for example. It's not an issue anymore. I don't have to move to Silicon Valley for my tech startup to be known or invested in. I don't need to travel for days, or even hours to speak with someone face to face. I just get on Skype, and problem solved.

My point is this. We don't need more technology for the everyman to become someone important.

We just need the initiative.
