"Remember this," Tyler said. "The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed.

"What matters is the network of social creation, the community of collaborative interaction that futurist Alvin Toffler called prosumption.
