It is almost unbelievable that not so long ago we would waste our time whenever we were doing mindless activities like house chores, driving, running. In an effort to try to fill that void we would consume whatever the big media wanted to feed us, without question. Now we have a choice, now we have more choice.

The devices we carry in our pockets get smarter and smarter. Today they can contain whole libraries, thousands of hours of music or podcasts, even movies! The only reason we can’t say that we are at edge of carrying the whole production of human kind, be it music, movies, books, etc in our pockets is because the rate of production is accelerating as much as our technology.

We are entering the age of participation and that means we’ll have much more interesting and much more choice of content to fill the mindless voids of our lives. More than that, we won’t be filling the voids to keep us entertained but to learn, grow, improve. We’ll start searching for voids to fill with such a rich experience.
