Les 5 tendances des 50 prochaines années ! « SWiTCH. FutureNow-Trends-Report. Trend Blend: 4 Infographics showing the major global trends. At the end of every year media call on futurists to ask them what to expect in coming years, reflecting the appetite from their audiences for future thinking. One of the best ways to feed this desire is with infographics, distilling ideas into an accessible visual representation. For the last four years a Trend Blend has been produced to close out the year. Each year this has been driven by Richard Watson of NowandNext, with myself and Future Exploration Network participating in the creation of the first three of these.
Below is a compilation of the four Trend Blends. You will see some themes recurring, and other fresh trends emerging over the years. Click on the maps to see the detailed versions.
