When I look at Kickstarter, I see small businesses that have been funded by their customers. I see the acceleration of this shift away from the industrial manufacturing ideology to more of a maker economy. And I also see an idea so powerful that the company name has become a verb.

For a while, I have had this theory that we, as a society, are coming to the end of the mass production, industrial phase of the human race.

When I see Kickstarter, I don't see a company. Instead, I see a social movement. I see people doing things for people.
