“The iPod is clearly a tipping point (and I'm not quite sure it is a wholly positive development), because it is a revolution in the way that we consume creative property, which I would call art. It has radically changed the relationship between the artist and the audience, how money changes hands, and how much money changes hands. Music was the first, and books are coming next. The Kindle or some form of electronic book is clearly inevitable, and it will massively reshape how books are sold, who pays for them, and how they're consumed. It is going to be really fascinating.” WayFirstsArtBookHandsFormArtistNextPayAudienceCreativeChangedRevolutionDevelopmentPropertyInevitableFascinatingConsumedIpodsKindlesTippingTipping Point Author:Malcolm Gladwell

“Economists often talk about the 80/20 Principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. In most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. Twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. Twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. When it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.” PeopleIdeasDoneCausesSituationPrinciplesCrimeDrinkPercentTwentiesMajorityExtremesAccidentsCriminalsTinyCommitBeerEconomistPercentagesParticipantsEpidemicsDrinkersTippingTipping PointBeer Drinkers Author:Malcolm Gladwell
