JWT: 1Things to Watch in 2011
- jlangenauer 16y agoI particularly like the selection bias in the prologue, where they recap their "success" in predicting things in 2010. Of course, if you predict enough things will become trends, then surely some of them will. Perhaps JWT might like to offer some percentage figures of how many of their trend predictions came to pass?
- sgift 16y agoAdditionally, some of this points are so broad it should be really easy for them to declare "success" in the next year: "Auto apps", "Biomimcry" (anything inspired by nature?) or which are quite obvious by now: "Buy one, give one away" (didn't OLPC use this model in .. 2006? 2007? Prediction?); Children's E-Books (ebooks are becoming more and more ubiquitos all the time - so yes, there will be children's ebooks) .. and so on. Still, some of the slides are interesting reads.
- nbashaw 16y agoI can't wait for NFC to become standard on smartphones. Think of how many apps are going to get better because of it. There's the obvious winners like Bump and Square, but I can't wait to be able to open locked doors, send files, share links, swap photos, etc...
