Digital Life: Today & Tomorrow from Neo Labels on Vimeo.

While a bit long and missing a compelling soundtrack, this video powerfully frames the digital life of our consumers, both today and tomorrow. The PSFK article provides a deeper recap, but here are a few powerful reasons to invest in truly understanding the insights that influence behavior:

Breakdown to time spent online: 16% social networking, 9.2% instant messaging, 6.6% on e-mail and 6.2% with ‘multimedia’. Note, time on social networks is up globally.

Mobile domination: By 2015, mobile could to overtake the ‘keyboard & mouse-based’ web.
