Predictions

iPhone apps will reign supreme in 2011 — so much so that your iPhone will be used as a tv remote. 

Internet cafes will witness a surge as social marketing begins to focus more on funneling consumers into “social meet and greet groups” — think Meetup.com meets iPhone app….LAN parties will be replaced with iPhone “App Parties” – 

Christmas 2011 – Apple will run  ”wrap an app” campaign just in time for the holidays.

2015 - Virtually all tv shows will be consumer input driven –

[ please God free me from this iPhone maddness..wait it gets even more creepy ]

Both businesses and consumers will eventually look towards the new frontier of commerce and interaction…space. 

Don’t believe me?

A special about  ancient astronauts yesterday really had me thinking about life and the pursuit of what some might call happiness.  I don’t know why, but I think the world is about to “revisit” the idea of being well…..”visited” –

But what’s interesting is I decided to do some quick research and…as we examine Google Trends for today July 15th,  2010, this is what we get.

What’s Google trends: Basically, what’s considered “hot topics” by Google. Determined by google searches. (what people are looking at/for)

Hot Topics: #3 - UFO China

Hot Searches: #1 China UFO

 …oooh #1 for Hot Topics was “Warriors” –

Not only that, but Google searches for things “UFO” related have been on the rise in both June and July of this year in the United States. 

Wait…this is “The Positive Thinker” right? 

Yes, but unfortunately even the upcoming doomsday (2012) has brought a few new businesses out of the wood work. Hey, it’s all about the dollars!  Which more than likely would be useless if everyone and everything for that matter in the world were condensed to ashes.

Purge negativity from your life, like excess calories from your diet!
Obstacles in life are abundant to say the least. Life can be summed up by forming an interesting comparison. Life vs. your morning commute to work. There’s no doubt you get hit with your fair share of stop signs, stop lights, and perhaps you’re even blessed with getting caught up behind a few school buses…bringing your commute to an utter stand still. You play traffic warrior in an attempt to arrive at a destination that presents even more problems and obstacles than the commute itself, adding to the vicious cycle of what could only be described as negativity infinity. Channels of negativity are ever present, and it’s quite hard to fight the good fight when so many are leaping at the opportunity to drag you down into their self-made pits of hell. But it’s literally all a matter of perception. Our thoughts are the driving force behind every self-made decision in our lives. We have to keep our channels of thought clear and free from negativity. We have to create mental environments in our lives that will allow us to cultivate success. “Think, Plan, Achieve” — and I am endorsing N.L.P. saturation, (google it) for the month of June….and I don’t mean urinating in your underwear. Saturate yourself in success, all forms….N.L.P. ( neurologistic programming), and strong networking amongst worthy individuals. Team build your way to the top! We are living in hectic times. Place yourself within successful channels and harvest the benefits.

Lastly, here’s an interesting fact about your workplace. Younger workers want more money, while older workers just want respect. Wouldn’t you agree? Today’s mantra is going to be “Think, Plan, Achieve” — a little free N.L.P. for you.

Well, I almost feel bad blogging on the same topic(s) as my last post, but it’s just a worthy blog. Facebook will be pulling out all the stops as they attempt to re situate themselves as the #1 (most trusted) social network on the internet. Some things were said and some chat logs from a few years back have surfaced, leaving Facebook to answer for giving your privacy the backseat to some hidden “personal data mining” agenda. I think it goes without saying that we need to be careful regarding what we put out into the world wide social atmosphere. But onto the glory of reiteration! Facebook is already beginning to weaken its grip on the social networking championship title! But of course, it was only a matter of time. I’m not a super fan of the whole social networking marketplace. To me Facebook along with other websites, online services, etc….lack the ability to stay relevant, engaging, and just plain interesting. Personally it’s boring. I’d rather track the ships from that show “The Deadliest Catch” or watch NASA TV. Why? Well with the exception of the deadliest catch ship tracking, these are things that tell me whats going on now. I want to feel truly connected. While blogs may not provide you with a picture of whats going on “right this second” they do provide deep seated details (sometimes) on the inner workings of an individuals life. And to me, this is interesting. Facebook to me is nothing more than a public scrapbook, or a black hole that’s ultimate goal is to suck you in..along with all of your friends, get you hooked on some mini online games, and apparently utilize the power of “opt-in” to steal your personal information.

So where do we go from here, you ask? Wait, another realization is begging for acknowledgment. [to be continued]
