I guess that's part/parcel of it. But, to a larger degree....
WE (even our parents/kids/grandkids) are the drivers of change.

How many of us (now) take ease with ordering on line ?
Ordering (you name it) stuff from 3rd world countries? << looked

We go to Wal*Mart, COSTCO, SAM's etc. to save a dime or two.

Said differently....we've seen the enemy...and the enemy is US!
