Nothing dates as fast as the future. Richard Watson.

Richard Watson, the author of Future Files, has a blog on which he discusses future trends.

He’s currently listing the 2008 Trends as he sees them.

1. Karma Capitalism
2. Rhythm & Balance
3. Making things
4. Something for nothing
5. Industrial provenance
6. Robotics
7. Data visualisation
8. Reality mining
9. Eco-exhaustion
10. Fantasy & escape
Most of these need some explanation to unpack them! The explanation is on the blog.

His 2007 Trends is now available as a pdf file free to copy, and makes interesting reading.
