New Age of Consumerism

The new age of consumerism. Customization.


Gone will the days where you see ten or hundred other ppl carrying the same latest "limited" edition bag/phone/laptop as you are.

Manufacturers will need to employ the skills of employers who are able to tend to customers' needs and well, able to build what they need there and then.

If the nature of the business permits, each shop would effectively become a mini production location. Talk about globalization. Examples? Well, fashion industrial can be one of those affected by the change. Customer test a top, find it a little loose or tight, they can have the option to have one done to their measurement within an hour.

Mobile phone industry might be hit too. Come another six months, consumers might be seeing more convergence devices that can hold more data in their hands. You need a twenty gig model with extra ram and higher density battery? No problem. Your working environment requires you to bring no camera? We'll remove it for you. Need more privacy with a big screen device? We'll place a built in privacy screen for you.

Need additional business software? Done.

Why would you want something that everyone else can get when you can have something that truely belongs to you, and you alone?
