Carton is a symbol of consumerism and it is a material that highlights the abundance of materials in the world. It can contain food or objects of any type; it can be thrown away and recycled later on. But this time, it has been used as the main protagonist in the artwork of a young Chilean designer, Carolina Pino. Carolina is a brilliant NYU student, splitting her time between Santiago, Chile and New York. Her project is named “Shellhouse Living Portable.” The carboard house is equipped with a circuit that transmits radio signals and transforms a simple box into a traceable internet device. Through the internet connection, the “shellhouse” is visible online and traceable through the city on google maps.

It is no longer unusual for an employee to have a boss half his age, or to find a company that has employees ranging from early twenties to around sixty years of age. For the first time in history, four generations will work together; future workers will mix with past workers. Daniel Burrus, one of the world’s leading technology forecasters and business strategists, discusses the future of the manufacturing industry. In the near future, businesses will have to be rebuilt based on the principle of collaboration and being relatable. The young will have to use their technological and cooperation skills, and the old will have to impart their wisdom and experience. The need to work together will put an end to the professional competition between the young and old.

The winning strategy of businesses will be to understand beforehand, thanks to the symbiosis between the generations and new technology, what problems clients will face and be able to solve them by means of a product or service. According to Burrus, noted as a business guru by the New York Times, relationships will be one of the most important aspects for a global market, and therefore people need to focus on reinventing manufacturing through collaborations.
