"Trendsumers"...or "Gimme Right Now! Go! Go! Go!"

One of our favorite things to wait for at the start of the month is Trend Watching’s Trend Briefing. It’s not always explicitly about design or anything, but gives a nice look at the world wherein all this stuff that’s designed or otherwise created, lives and is taken in by the public at large. This time around, their extensive piece is about something called “Transumers,” which, after we read it, we came to consider another phrase: “total jerks.”
