While emerging niches are very hard to predict.... one thing thing remains certain and that is that we are at the precipice- the beta stage of a massive transition from how we currently consume, interact, procure, produce and deceminate content and information. For those who consider themselves investors on here... it would be ill-advised to dismise a disruption of this magnitude whether you are for it or against it. There's nothing wrong with having one foot in the pool to gauge the water before deciding to jump in it or not.
