:A: The goal of the Consumerium project, in a nutshell, is to increase power of the [[consumer]] in [[market economy]]. This goal is achieved by developing an information gathering, storage and transporting infrastructure that delievers '''all available information''' to support consumer decisions - with '''just a touch of a button''', and gives to the consumer the ability to give [[feedback]], even to the '''other side of the world''' - with just a few touches of buttons.
