- The future of media; why people are changing their media consumption habits; and the ramifications for society.
- Why the greatest change in the history of media (namely how people’s access and choices of contents has switched from relative scarcity to surplus or now even overload) has doomed Mass Media, its business models , and other legacies of the Industrial Era; and how all of those are already being superseded by Individuated Media as the predominant means by which people obtain news, entertainment, and other information, now that the Informational Era has begun.
- Successful business models and content production for Individuated Media.
