Six big trends are shaping the future: 1) Digitization as everything becomes digitized and goes to the cloud, 2) Deployment of four screens per person including phones, tablets, TVs, and PCs, 3) Democratization as everyone gains a voice on these screens and it becomes very noisy, 4) Exponential growth of data as the zettabyte era emerges, 5) Important changes in human demographics and populations, and 6) Rising debt that now exceeds $49 trillion globally. These trends will significantly impact the future.
