Welcome to 2023! Wishing you a successful and curiosity-driven new year!
Here’s my annual list of 50 curated predictions for the year. They are loosely technology-based, some as expected (chatGPT, generative AI, web3) but you’ll also find ransomware wars, nutrigenomics, crypto trust and invisible NFTs - with links to the reports. Much to look out for in an uncertain time. Enjoy - and all best for the year!
If you find anything on the list interesting, you can get the summary on this LinkedIn post. Please like and share liberally! You’ll also find (in the comments) a link to 100 or so trend reports if you want to deep dive.
Some housekeeping:
I’m in the process of migrating this newsletter (fully) from Revue to Substack. You should hopefully see little change, but I’ll be improving over the coming weeks.
Normal service resumes next Sunday: you know - a bit of commentary, and some recommended links.
It’s Jan 1 - so I’d encourage those of you who don’t find value in this newsletter to unsubscribe. The link is at the bottom of this email. If you do find value in Box of Amazing, please consider forwarding this email to your nearest and dearest
Stay Curious!
