My, how the digital times are a-changin'. We're downsizing to small screens, friending the world, thinking in 140 characters and downloading -- dare I say -- "billions and billions" of apps designed to make everything we do simpler, faster and more convenient (well, we think).

a goodwill perception in response to overwhelming research indicating
that this has become a key influencer in brand affinity, acceptance and
buying behavior.
