Research and Markets: The 10 Social and Tech Trends That Could Shape The Next Decade


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wzlftn/the_10_social_and) has announced the addition of the "The 10 Social and Tech Trends That Could Shape The Next Decade" report to their offering.

A decade ago the idea of driverless fully electric cars, digital currencies and deep sea mining seemed like science fiction. It is testament to the rapid pace of social, economic and technological change that we are witnessing that these concepts no longer seem impossible with Bitcoin trading at values that are best described as outlandish and the UN giving licenses away for companies to mine the sea beds. As such, a revolution is under way, where gadgets, large and small, are changing our society. And this stuff is not make-believe any more. In less than a decade, many of these trends will be embedded in our daily lives.



These revolutionary changes equate to great opportunities for entrepreneurs and businesses, and they can prosper from it if they are the first to spot and adapt to these major global societal and transformative forces, which I call Mega Trends. Knowledge of these Mega Trends is only a first step towards understanding future opportunities. The macro to micro exercise of translating the macro (Mega Trends) to micro opportunities at industry, country or even personal level is when the rubber hits the road in benefiting from these trends. Here are the top 10 Mega Trends and their micro implications.

Connectivity and Convergence (News - Alert): By 2020, there will be over billion internet users, with over half of them accessing the internet over handheld tablet devices, and billion connected devices worldwide. This connectivity will spread to our daily lives bringing the three silos of work, home and our surrounding environment into one seamless experience. Connected living will involve digital assistants that guide our everyday lives, music that seamlessly moves from our homes to cars as soon as we shut the door to our house to start our commute, as everything will sit in a cloud that we can access anywhere, anytime. A new range of technology-enabled services such as smart lighting, mobile working solutions, and smart governance will define and shape our everyday experiences.
