There is something about predictions I just love. It's fun thinking about what the future may bring especially when it might contain some of the exciting developments predicted in this presentation by trend spotting agency JWT who, according to their track record, seem to be pretty good at this futurising stuff.

I am excited about:

6. Automatic Check-ins - location-based apps move from gaming to real rewards.

14. Breaking The Book - the e-book continues to mature and goes mainstream.

16. Buy One, Give One Away - retail moves into philanthropy.

22. Decline of the Cash Register - payments go mobile.

25. Digital Downtime - move towards taking mindful digital breaks (you heard it here at From Apps to Zen first!)

26. Digital Etiquette - a subject close to my heart (put down the iPhone!)

44. In the Flesh - online goes offline.

51. Micro-Businesses - peer to peer business grows.

52. Mobile Blogging - goes large (use Posterous to blog on the go)

97. Video Calling - goes mobile. 

Enjoy this glimpse of the future.
