Due to the availability of information, anonymity and ability to do business
on demand, I expect successful companies consisting of teenagers and young
adults to become commonplace. Children that are recieving a better education
than we ever did (due to the availability of information) will have newer,
more original ideas and will stand a better chance in the fast paced digital
economy. I expect most of todays companies will not be able to survive the
dramatic changes ahead. Large companies will split into smaller, more
malleable parts.
