What is the Hyper Self-Sufficiency trend?
Hyper Self-Sufficiency: Technology was created for the purpose of doing what people can do in a better, faster way. This concept is taken to new heights as professions from the service industry are replaced with apps and the like. This pattern of hyper self-sufficiency lends to the old suspicion that if you want something done right, you should do it yourself, allowing for ultra-customization for every individual.
