10 Forecasts For The Near Future Of Tech

Scott Belsky discusses ten forecasts for the near future of technology and how it will impact work and life in the next five years. He aims to share these forecasts to connect with entrepreneurs, attract like-minded thinkers to his work at Adobe, and gather feedback to improve these ideas. He includes emerging trends that are not yet mainstream, rather than obvious trends and winners. His forecasts cover topics such as AI-driven recommendations, the rise of immersive experiences, the emergence of the stakeholder economy, personalized advertising, and the growth of small businesses. He predicts a future where top talent will have "polygamous careers," and all functions of the enterprise will become a multi-player and immersive experience. He also foresees a nomadic decade of life and work for the next generation, and the discovery, acceptance, and expression of multiple identities. His forecasts aim to offer insight into how technology and culture will change material aspects of our lives in the coming years.
