      well a different flavor of it. Wealthy people being disrupted tend to get a lot of stuff written. It was the fundamental thesis of Naisbitt's Megatrends was that they were made visible by the amount of column inches spent on them in periodicals. Didn't matter positive or negative writing, if there were enough column inches being spent (editorial resource) there was something there[1]
