DIGITAL TRENDS 2020–30: Part 1 — The Emergence
I have published a digital trend spotting every 10 years of this decade, but this year is special for three reasons.
On the one hand, I have so many international processes going at the same time that I have less time than usual to do it, while it is not about predicting a year but a whole decade.
On the other hand, almost everything I have said for several years now is coming true. Because even though it is impossible to be right in just about everything in the future, I have, on a general level, been right in at least 4 out of 5 cases on the exact rub. This means that a digital trend spotting for the next decade will actually have a similar tone, and to some extent be about exploding with a centripetal force in a similar direction.
And given both the first and the second reason, it must probably become an international book in the end, which my publisher consistently is poking me on. The following can therefore be seen as a substantially smaller version of such a trend spotting, but mostly as a sneak peak of the manuscript for a significantly larger such spotting. But now let’s go! 😉
