Cataclysmic disruption resulting from the first world war and the Spanish flu shuttered businesses and provoked xenophobia. Technological marvels like the radio, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, moving assembly line and electronic power transmission generated new growth, even as the wealth gap widened. More than two-thirds ofAmericans survived on wages too low to sustain everyday living. The pace of scientific innovation—the discovery of insulin, the first modern antibiotics, and insights into theoretical physics and the structure of atoms—forced people to reconsider their cherished beliefs.  \nThe sheer scale of change, and the great uncertainty that came with it, produced two factions: those who wanted to reverse time and return the world to normal, and those who embraced the chaos, faced forward, and got busy building the future.  \nIt’s difficult not to see striking parallels to our modern world. A tumultuous U.S. election, extreme weather events and Covid-19 continue to test our resolve and our resilience. Exponential technologies—artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, exascale computing, autonomous robots, and off-planet missions to space—are challenging our assumptions about human potential. Under lockdown, we’ve learned how to work from our kitchen tables, lead from our spare rooms, and support eachother from afar. But this disruption has only just begun.  \nWith the benefit of both hindsight and strategic foresight, we can choose a path of reinvention. Our 2021 Tech Trends Report is designed to help you confront deep uncertainty, adapt and thrive. For this year’s edition, the magnitude of new signals required us to create 12 separate volumes, and each report focuses on a cluster of relat-  \ned trends. In total, we’ve analyzed nearly 500 technology and science trends across multiple industry sectors. In each volume, we discuss the disruptive forces, opportunities and strategies that will drive your organization in the near future.  \nNow, more than ever, your organization should examine the potential near and long-term impact of tech trends. You must factor the trends in this report into your strategic thinking for the coming year, and adjust your planning, operations and business models accordingly. But we hope you will make time for creative exploration. From chaos, a new world will come.  \nAmy Webb  \nFounder  \nThe Future Today Institute  \n© 2021 Future Today Institute  \nMacro Forces and Emerging Trends  \nFor nearly two decades, the Future Today Institute has meticulously resear","cbCaivX4gOqxdkeE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivX4gOqxdkeE","pdf",16383134,504,"English","# Overview, Methodology and Frameworks\n## Overview\n## Macro Forces and Emerging Trends\n## Methodology and Frameworks","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2021 Tech Trends Report in this edition?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed to help readers confront deep uncertainty and adapt and thrive by examining the potential near- and long-term impact of technology and science trends.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report organize and analyze trends?\",\"answer\":\"It organizes nearly 500 trends into 12 clear categories, and within each volume it discusses disruptive forces, opportunities, and strategies for organizations.\"},{\"question\":\"What framework does the report provide for turning trends into action?\",\"answer\":\"Each trend includes multiple insights, including disruptive impact, emerging players, and an action scale such as Watch Closely, Informs Strategy, or Act Now.\"}]","Tech Trends Report - 14th Annual Edition | PDF",1791924313,176]
