Surprises and Trends




A light-hearted summation of things that surprise me and a guess at a couple long-term trends. Food for thought!

Surprise
  • How we gave away private data to anybody who asked or promised us a little treat.
  • Continuing to use astronauts (and fighter pilots).
  • Bulky smart phones have not yet been replaced by smart apparel.


Long term trends
  • Nomadic workforce. Groups of digital nomads who take their tiny houses and move with the weather, perhaps as entire communities.
  • Biological revolution will follow the IT revolution. Customized organic substances will heal, protect, communicate, and build for us. Genome editing is just the start.
