What advantages do today's designers have over designers of the past?
@ZacharyEdelson: Omnipresent smart tech has made us keen connoisseurs of design; we recognize thoughtful design when we see (and use) it.
@IndustryCityBK: The biggest advantages for today’s designers are connectivity & community.
@LetUsSuppose: Ability to outsource - marketing, accounting, legal to personal assistants - there are affordable startups for everything.
