Scoop.it!
As Jane Jacobs has said, it is in the mix of the streets where cities get their unique character and retain their independence. Authenticity comes from living in the city, rather than above it. The more alike our cities and neighborhoods become, the harder we try to seek out spaces, food, and clothes that affirm a sense of realness and rootedness. The more alike we become, the thirstier we are for perceived individuality. And in crowded cities, being an individual means being rooted in modern notions of authenticity... Via Lauren Moss
Pedro Barbosa's insight:
Authenticity and Character. I have been talking a lot about this issues as a trend for some time and reinforce its importance for the next years.

I have the Kindle Fire HD 7 and consider it the best deal. Will it substitute for any of my computers, even the netbook? Hell no. It is what it is: a media player grafted at the hip to Amazon. But I buy 90% of my stuff from Amazon anyway ... and pretty much %100 of my books, music and movies ... the rest is hardware, housewares, and miscellany. And with Amazon Prime, you get a LOT for free movies, books, free to borrow/cheap to buy stuff ... making it very much worth the annual fee. Some people love the iPad. Others do not like it. Most people like whatever tablet they have "well enough," but the initial adoration has dropped away as people have discovered the limitations of the product. As long as you know what you want to do with it, whatever you buy will no doubt find a slot in your world. Just don't expect it to do everything. It won't. Just get something that will do what YOU want to do. Which is exactly why I love my Kindle!!
