But today, I want to write about a trend that I, and many others have been noticing. I would like to welcome you to the New Renaissance.
Starting off, what is typically defined as the Renaissance Era? The Renaissance is typically descriptive of a movement starting in Italy from the 14th to the 17th century. During this era, there was a rebirth of the arts, humanities and education. Philosophy was resurrected and knowledge became king. Universities grew, Cities that promoted ideas flourished and we were not maintaining what was broken, but trying to build society better. Creativity flowed, details were taken into account and many of today's most beautiful pieces of art were the cutting edge of design.
Guess what... It is back. This time in a new form. New ideas have come into play, new sciences have emerged and now a new future is upon us. We have seen manufacturing at its height, the door-to-door salesman has loaded his cookware back into his trunk, and amenities are no longer delivered in a 400+ page master catalog labeled Montgomery Ward. The red-hatters have been dismissed and now aristocracy and the pauper linger on a Facebook page together.
Kickstarter is kick-starting millions of dollars in new ideas, Indiegogo is funding new gadgets, and new products flood Etsy's pages.
The bookstores are selling books, Pinterest is pinning pins, and everybody seems to be in the mood for a fancier cupcake.
The business classes are filling up with people looking to get their ideas going, MeetUp has new ideas and hobbies being shared, and the communities that grow are growing together.
The future is now. The next thing is today. The next generation has been born. And it's time for its parents to hand out a new product and the legacies to give an old memory that will help these new babies thrive. It's an era of regeneration and a time of new birth. It's a celebration of marriage of the business and the new idea. It's a time of entrepreneurship.
WELCOME TO THE NEW RENAISSANCE ERA
