The
Future
of Water
Although we think nothing of buying a bottle
of water and cradling it throughout the day,
the purchasing of portable water is a relatively
new phenomenon. Drinking water was always
done out of a glass and mostly sitting down.
Anything we do in the present time, we classify
as ‘normal’ behaviour but when we look at
the possibility of future trends and fads, we
often shake our heads in disbelief. Water, in
its entirety, is a trend which is set to grow;
changing our perception of what we currently
know and believe about water.
