Resolutions, Revolution and Pets

Happy New Year everybody! I’ll bet at least one of your resolutions is to look amazing, feel happier and be more confident.

I don’t know about you but I worry about machines taking over and eliminating the human race! Pretty extreme I know, but one thing the machines have already taken is our connection to each other. It’s not too late to fix all this and your pet could be the answer. Leading futurologist and CEO of the Futures Agency, Gerd Leonhard, recently spoke at PURINA's Better with Pets event in London and said “Humanity will change more in the next 20 years, than the previous 300.

As the world becomes more technologically complex and artificial intelligence continues to evolve, we risk becoming disconnected from the people around us. Relationships, not data, are what make us human”. On top of that, research by PURINA says the number of households with both pets and children has fallen by a total of 36,000 over the last five years, whereas the overall number of households with children has risen by nearly 200,000 in that same time period. So what does all this mean? I think you already know. Its time to visit the animal shelter. Yes, your Robo-Dog can probably fetch but in the face of rapid technological change it’s important to stay grounded and there’s nothing like a real animal companion to do that for us. Don’t let the machines ruin the bond we have with our pets.

In fact, the three oldest generations lost 4.4 percent in market share, but that was picked up by the millennials, +2.6 percent and Gen Xers, +1.8 percent. Now this is not to say older people don’t love their pets as much as younger generations. The decreases were attributed to value...
