As a consumer, I have some demands!

 Alright, future.  Listen here.

 

Listen.

 

When I walk into a room, I want all the media I have tagged as 'share with others' to shuffle into the media mix playing until I leave.

 

Listen.

 

I want to be able to easily tell a content creator what their work has done, for me, in a way that is meaningful.  I wouldn't mind having a way to 'star' content creators in my feed reader and each of them get a proportional % of my voluntary pledge each month.  That would be meaningful.  

 

Listen.

 

I fully expect daemons to interact directly with me within the next 24 hours.  Inanimate objects shall communicate their state in a way that is useful.  A warning buzz on a bluetooth whenever you are on a call and about to accidently walk into a road while the light is red, an augmented reality tourguide at the very least.*

 

Listen.

 

In the casual interactions I have with my fellow man, I wish to leave as impactful digital mark as a physical one.  Never will a truely earnest suggestion from a stranger on a bus be forgotten on the way to work, nor shall any experience worth sharing be withheld from those you wish to share it with.

 

Listen.

 

I don't want a company to capture a meaningful moment from me and use it for some kind of marketing campaign, or even as a dataset for analysis.  A tender moment with my wife is not a touching backdrop for a brand of toothpaste.  I don't want my wireless headset to whisper to me about discount rates across town, back in 45 if you step on this bus right now (wow!  you qualify for a free ride on the bus to the shop if you ACT NOW).
