You can tell more about the wants of society in general by marketing & businesses than by any other resource. Why else were reality TV shows so darned popular from about 2001 to current, only recently slacking off slightly? Why else are there 5 gas stations/car dealerships/cash advance places for every hobby store or bookstore?You can also tell what businesses and interests are slacking off. When there's a glut of one business, and in two years every one is either sold to another business or simply closed and abandoned, you can tell what used to be more popular. I can't find a third of the tanning salons I would have been able to find in our tri-city area just five years ago.</blockquote>
