ECONOMICS - In Future, Everything Will Be a Coffee Shop - "coffeeshopification."

'Universities Will Become Coffee Shops - rarely more than 50% of the class shows up mostly to  "seek tutoring, network, and socialize."
Bookstores Will Become Coffee Shops - arnes and Noble-sized stores shrink down to just their coffee shops – or maybe Starbucks takes over their business
Retail Stores Will Become Coffee Shops - Which is more enjoyable: Starbucks or Walmart? For the sane: Starbucks. So if you can accomplish your Walmart shopping at Starbucks, why do it any other way?
Imagine the 3D print shop of the future.
Offices Become Coffee Shops… Again - in Toronto's new Rustic Owl last week there was an open macbook on almost every table.'

NONE of these issues exist in the unaltered state of nature or in Paul’s gardens and orchards. Producer: Michael Barrett
