Speaking in New Orleans at Webtrends “Engage 2010”

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;

Three centuries later, Claude Monet studied hay stacks and cathedrals and focused on how they were different with each changing hour. Their changes defined them.

Now marketers can look at us, not simply as individuals, but as chameleon-like creatures who change according to the time of day, where we are, and whom we’re with (or talking to). And by comparing us to millions of others, they predict our mutations. Every day, we’re understood less as fixed values, or rocks, and more like the rivers Heraclitus was talking about.
