When Ideas Meet Demand, And Demand Meets Ideas

Hello gingers! The internet is a fast growing place and I would love to talk about it right now.

We live in a world where you can literally get any information you could ever possibly need in the matter of seconds. You want to learn that new hip song on guitar? Done. You want to know the population of Wales? Done. You want to see cute little kittens playing around and being adorable? Done.

Anything you would ever need is readily available for you to absorb. And it's because of you.

And know you're like: What? You're telling me that I'm responsible for cat videos on the internet?

And I'm like: Yes. It's all your fault.

And then you're like: What? I don't believe you.

And then I'm all like: It's your fault that we have all of this information and everything you could ever think of ready at your disposal because you demanded it. You said "I want this to happen" and it happened because people wanted to supply your demand and be helpful to you and many others. For example "I really wish that their was a product I could use that would allow me to talk to other people without actually being there." Boom. Telephone. But people wanted to be able to talk easier and talk outside of their own home. Boom. Done. And people wanted to talk but not actually have to talk. Just send a message quickly. Done.

And the internet is no different. It is full of more demand from more people and it's only going to grow. You demanded cat videos, and you got them.

But in this fast paced world there has to be people to create or deliver the things that you demand. And those people make money doing that because you are demanding it to be so. But the suppliers in this world come in many different forms, whether it's a website, or a blog, or a store, or whatever, it's there for you to consume and create your own opinions on for you to then share with other people. It's an incredible connection.

But then what about the things that haven't been created yet but I'm demanding? Someone in the world is creating it. Right now.

What about people who create things without demand? It's a demand from themselves. A controlling force that allows human kind to put out ideas into action, whatever they may be. They think to themselves that people would like it and it would be really fun to create and see come to life. And when they do people will see them and the demand will rise because they enjoy what someone has created.

It's ying and yang. Without ideas there would be no demand, and without demand, there would be no ideas.

You can't have one without the other and this cycle is what brings the world to life.

Without this cycle there would be no cat videos, or phones, or television, or computers or the internet. Supply and demand, demand and supply.

Put that in your applesauce.

Keep The Cycle Going,
Rachael The Ginger
