Consumers move from curating to creating with art-encouraging resources

Implications - The younger generation is obsessed with avoiding the tedious professions that wreak havoc on their parents, resulting in a need to create. Many online resources and apps have been released as a result. This suits the desire to create, instead of simply curate, artistic content, accelerating the content creation abilities granted to consumers via Twitter and other micro-blogging sites.

2. Simplified Website Publishing Platforms - Simplified website publishing platforms can offer significant cost savings to businesses and individuals seeking to create a website, bypassing the need for specialized development or design skills.
3. Collaborative Design Platforms - Collaborative design platforms such as FiftyThree's Mix democrative creativity and can help facilitate collaboration among creatives, and ensure that all stakeholders have input and are heard.
Industry Implications
1. Content Creation Platforms - With the ease of content creation, there is an opportunity for innovators to create enterprise applications that streamline the content creation process for companies in various industries.
