This Time, It's For Real!

This is that time of the year, when many of us like me are under pressure to be ‘thought leaders’, predict and write about trends for the coming year. And we all attempt it in all earnestness.But truth be told, most of these are hollow to say the least. For instance, a few years back, for over six years one prediction evolved every year in various forms and this is how it happened. Starting on the first year with ‘This is the year of mobile’ to a final version ‘Really, God promise, this year is the real year of real mobile’ on the sixth year with all variations in between. Not to mention about times when middle-east countries really panicked hearing that all oil will now be replaced with data, every complicated excel sheet got labelled as Big Data, and every mobile camera and face creams became AI enabled. This year the word is that we will have AI enabled masks.
