I’ve been working on my speech for the Webtrends conference next week in New Orleans. I hope to see some of you there. One of the points I’ll be discussing is the change, as we process more and more data, in how we perceive reality. We focus less on …quot;facts…quot; (This consumer is a middle-class Latino) to patterns and processes (Look, he buys more cilantro on weekends!)

Of course, we’ve always known that reality isn’t fixed. Heraclitus said 2,500 years ago that
…ldquo;No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man….rdquo;
