This is the Lifestyle Age. It has been enabled by the Internet because it is now possible for a majority of people across the globe, to know about and appreciate the Arts & Culture of the world, and it is no longer the preserve of the exclusively rich and super elite. The Lifestyle Age is all about living life in Fine Art.

Whatever you do in work and in play, do it not only to the best of your ability and to your satisfaction, but with savoir faire, style, and panache. But to sustain this stylishness, people need to be fed and inspired. People need to be exposed to Arts & Culture consistently, and persistently.
