Look into the future with this interesting perspective on things to watch in 2012.

Professional development, personal development, inspirational ideas and stuff you didn't see coming is what you can expect... plus more of what's right under your nose.

Here's an excerpt:

Curbing Food Waste. – Screened Interactions: as more flat surfaces become screens and more screens become interactive— with consumers touching them, gesturing at them and even talking to them—we’ll see screens infiltrating restaurant and retail experiences, making for Screened dining and Screened Shopping. – Objectifying Objects: as objects get replaced by digital/virtual counterparts, people are fetishizing the physical and the tactile (like Stationery). as a result we’ll see more Motivational objects, items that accompany digital property to increase perceived value, and tools that enable things like digital-Into- Physical Postcards.• this list also includes noteworthy events on the calendar, people to keep an eye on, tech tools and devices, and much more, including new behaviors and ideas with the potential to ladder up to bigger trends.
