One of my predictions (rather, hopes) is the same as every year: that we find more ways, socially, to get us offline through the use of technology.
- A Tinder not for hookups (perhaps even for friends - see below)
- A small-scale Meetup.com for exchanging knowledge
- Time banks take off
- arrmn 11y agoCould you tell me more about the meetup for knowledge exchange, what exactly do you imagine? Sounds interesting.
- personlurking 11y agoSorry, I hadn't seen your comment til now. Well, it'd work just like Meetup.com, except it'd probably be an app, or at least have a mobile component. Everyone would have a profile with their interests and when two people in the same geographic area with the same interest(s) sign up, the system would alert them both so they could set up a one-on-one meetup. There'd also be an optional GPS function where if you're free (w/ nothing to do) and wouldn't mind having a good conversation with someone regarding your interests, the app could ping you when two similar users are near each other.
