We are focused on the present moment
”Our society has reoriented itself to the present moment. Everything is live, real time, and always-on. It’s not a mere speeding up, however much our lifestyles and technologies have accelerated the rate at which we attempt to do things. It’s more of a diminishment of anything that isn’t happening right now — and the onslaught of everything that supposedly is.”

Insights
• We expect participation. What is completed is not interesting. We want to create, participate, comment and take part.
• Friends mean everything. We have lost trust in authorities.
• This moment is what’s important. The story of our lives are made of moments with the people around us. What’s happening NOW.
