Welcome to the Asynchronous Economy

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I was watching an episode of USA Network's "Burn Notice" from 2008 and it suddenly seemed antique. Star Jeffrey Donovan was talking on a flip phone with that 10,000-mile stare that was such a feature of the last decade. (That and the "Bluetooth Crazy" -- someone on the street motioning wildly and talking loudly into the air while you walk by -- good times.) Point is people don't do that much anymore.
