I’ve always wanted to come up with a trends report similar to the famous Internet trends report put out annually by Mary Meeker but I never got around to it. If I had I’m sure I would have mentioned The Cloud, Self-driving Cars, 3-D Printing, Virtual Reality, Robotics, Drones, and all the rest of the transformative technologies that have been debuting in recent years. But at any given time there’s a lot more going on than just those main attractions. As you’ll see by my first attempt at creating a current trends reports there’s a whole litany of topics trending up right now.
