There are three reasons why I love this book: No matter what industry you are in, you have to be ready to change and adapt. To be successful, you have to know what others dont and you must not only pay attention to your industry, but the trends that are happening in all industries. Social media and the digital lifestyle are changing the world. The statistics in this book are eye-opening. 81% of children under the age of 2 in North America, the EU 5, Australia/New Zealand and Japan already have some kind of digital profile or footprint with images of them posted online. Think how much business is going to change as these children grow up? Be prepared when your employer blocks your access to social networks at work.  The University of Melbourne released researching in 2010 declaring that social networks, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, are the most productive ways employees can relax at work. People who surf the Internet for fun, for less than 20% of their work time were 9% more productive than those that werent. I agree! Ready to play a role in defining the new era of business?
