"The adoration of all that is shiny and expensive has all but passed, replaced by contemporary spiritual longings and desires that are no longer simply material. As once we worshiped the new, we now worship connectivity - the illusion of continual communion trips the illusion of having it all. We now revere our ability to take active control of our lives, and rail against systems, structures or institutions that deny us this newly imagined birthright. And like other large-scale social changes in history, this one raises deep concern among many interested in maintaining and imaginary status quo."
The man may be a bit too evangelical about global warming but he really hit it on the head when summing the growing sentiment and desires of people today.
