Re-Localization Opportunities - Local 2.0
After World War 2, America built the infrastructure to deliver mass produced products, by mass transit for mass markets.

Did you know that the way you surf the internet may be influenced by your culture? In the U.S. and Europe, web surfers are leaning forward, one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard, typing and mousing equally. In China, however, the process is much different.

The keyboard is used much less frequently as much of the navigation is done with clicks instead.
