Trends for 2014
Smartphones, tablets, and any handheld computers are the norm (versus desktop computers).
Those resistant to change are changing to adapt to technology. Everyone has access to computers and smartphones. This is regardless of his/her “station in life.”
Trends in smartphone technology for yacht charter
The “personal touch” between family, friends, businesses, and clients must receive direct focus in order to stay an important aspect of life. The “use it or lose it” belief is alive and well.
Handwritten communication is fading into the past. Without direct use and practice, it disappears. Schools no longer teach personalization in life. Technology has center stage. This is a blessing, for example, for technological medical advances. They move closer to cures ever day. Diagnosis, treatments, and surgeries are completely different than in the past. It is also a curse. Where is handwritten communication? Are face-to-face meetings no more?
Society in general is moving more toward caring for others. Pay It Forward, Practice Random Acts of Kindness, Help the environment, care about animals. Compassion is big.
People are stepping up to help others (and to keep others – and animals – from harm) in my experience. Companies are making more sustainable products and being more environmentally responsible.
All aspects of life are being directed toward recycling, reducing, and reusing….just loving the Earth and caring about our surroundings.
There’s a dramatic shift toward “Making a Difference.”
