The presentation reviews the 10 trends identified by James Naisbitt in 1982 in his best seller Megatrends and goes further identifying three current megatrends that are reshaping our future: personalization of services and products through technology, the loss of personal privacy and trust in public institutions and professions, and finally … well, take a peek, this is good.
