How do we map the future?

 Simple answer: the future is NOW. HERE.





1: Watch every current affairs talking point. If people are angry /annoyed/concerned? Chances are, tech has a solution!

2: Watch every tech company initiative. The ones that trend. Also, the ones that don't yet!

3: Check Linkedin : Pulse, especially, and its twitter pitches are legendary!

4: Pitch, baby, pitch! If you THINK you have 'that' idea for a tech start up to fly? Chances are, you might!

5: Check the social medias: what topics are trending? Chances are, at least one holds the key to the next app/pitch etc?

6: Consider YOUR personal experience. What are YIU lacking or missing in life and how can tech maybe help with that?

7: Survey the market! Which tech start-ups are growing and flying, vs which are tanking / stalling? Therein, lies a clue to what the future might hold and how you factor in  said. 

8: Watch your competition. Whatever it is that they do, now? YOU must do, better, TOMOWRROW

9: Take a look at the following links:
  • https://locationsnearmenow.com/
  • https://shoppingairports.com/
  • https://locationsnearmenow.com/
Basically; any bespoke, tech tailored app, looking at location/mapping/consumer rights etc: THAT is the future. And there is a company which consolidates all those interests in one. Check it out, now!

What CityMapper, Blippar et al CAN'T quite do?

 Or rather? Maybe they DO it. But those features are not yet flagged up or tailored enough.  We have been talking, at some considerable length, regarding the many features and advantages which define travel focused applications of late. And one cannot in any way diminish those strengths. However, it is equally important to note that there are a number of urban themes which pervade the travel experience and it is in THOSE areas where the NEXT big app will take off.  In no particular order, a non exhaustive list, as follows: 1: DISABILITY!   We assume, immediately, a visible or aesthetically obvious point. Wheelchairs and so on. But think of say, DYSPRAXIA? Visual impairment and all the many iterations of limitation on one's ability to be truly mobile. An app that guides them through EVERY step of a journey, beyond simple tips/directions? ESSENTIAL. And in its way? STILL not 'there', yet.  2: AGE!   It is a problem. Older population. They do not all have to d...

Insurance vs Enviro Due Diligence: is sustainability, um.. sustainable?

Image
There is a problem: environmental and economic concerns continue to clash. If unabated, a crisis looms. And insurance is the first battle ground, it seems? Via litigious possibilities.  Corporate insurance rates are rising due to legal actions related to climate change. In response to the alleged inability of Shell's management and non-executive directors to present a strategy to reduce emissions swiftly, ClientEarth is considering legal action against them.  Environmental difficulties are "a new and substantial issue," according to David Powell, head of technical underwriting at the Lloyd's Market Association, and are "very much on the agenda of D&O underwriters. "Insurers are enquiring more about their clients' climate policies and talking about "enhancements" to those policies.  The Bank of England issued a warning in May that specialised D&O insurance were particularly vulnerable to lawsuits relating to climate change.  According t...

DALL-E 2: THE SEQUEL REVENGE OF THE BRILLIANT AI!

Image
The photos produced by DALL-E 2, which was released just last year, are four times as detailed as those produced by the original DALL-E. It makes sense given that, just five years ago, AlphaGo, a deep learning model created by Google's DeepMind, was the greatest story in the A.I. world. Nice gimmick! Just not the advancement most people care about, right? . Bigger picture here: Observe what happens with text produced by artificial intelligence.  Screenplays, communications, and game development can all be done by large language models like OpenAI's GPT-3. Medicine: MILLIONS of proteins, now MAPPED!  Over a million individuals have joined up for GitHub's Co-pilot, which enables programmers to work more quickly by completing code snippets automatically. AI is also writing code. In short? Growth is accelerating. Applied to EVERY sector! Use AI as a buddy to stay ahead of the game! To see other super applications of new tech: Sustainability Roadmap And:  City Maps Or:  ...
