Trend-oids
Out to get us for 2012..more on the product side vs. the people side.
1. Snap and pay. Mobile banking – first seen in Kenya. Snap and pay will bring mobile banking to the Western world. An app like Danske bank created where you can take a photo of your bill and then pay is hot.
2. More life brought to inanimate objects like your plant txting you know it needs to be watered. Why can’t your milk let you know when it’s turning?
3. Doing more with less (because pockets are being crunched everywhere). It’s a better phrase for the reduce, reuse, recycle movement. Grow your own, make your own stuff.
4. Smarter everything. Not just in mobile and home energy monitors. More smart on the horizon…TV and other appliances, smart footwear, cars are getting smarter but could they go on autopilot?…etc. Helps you automate and save in the best ways.
5. Geo-behavioural-targeting to the 8th power. It’s almost going to freak people out if they want it too. For the lovers of Clicktale and data it’s going to be a blessing.
May the trend-oid be with you!
