Just like most creative ideas, the mountain bike was being developed in Crested Butte, Colorado simultaneously with its creation in northern CA. I bought the third mountain bike sold in Colorado Springs at John Crandall's Old Town Bike Shop: a Mt. Fuji!

This has already transformed information broadcasting. Anyone can be a broadcaster or news source with very little cost.
I have noticed this is beginning to effect manufacturing as well. I have worked in web development for many years and I have noticed more and more of my small business clients getting involved in things like manufacturing in plastic, importing and exporting, and expanding overseas. Things that previously were only within reach of big corporations.
