"The communications revolution created by the Internet is breaking down barriers between countries, as well as companies, enabling talented individuals everywhere to find opportunities around the globe. The Art of Product Design is a story of how smart, creative people from around the world can find each other, solve problems, old and new, and do amazing things."
-Toomas Hendrik Ilves, President of Estonia

The ramifications of real-time communications instantly connecting every human on earth with every other human on earth is even more important than the invention of moveable type and the printing press more than 500 years ago.
