-Trend #2: A Tidal Wave of Information.  +===== Trend #2: A Tidal Wave of Information =====

 The publishing revolution will have an impact on the sheer volume of content available to us that is hard to even comprehend. If fewer than 1% of the users of Wikipedia actually contribute to it, what will happen when 10% do? Or 20%? There are over 100,000 blogs created daily, and MySpace alone has something over 375,000 new users (content creators) every day. We must figure out what information to give our time and attention to when we are engulfed by it. Web 2.0 is the cause of what can only be called a flood of content--and while we don't know what the solutions will be to the information dilemma, we can be pretty sure they will be brought forth from the collaborative web itself. The publishing revolution will have an impact on the sheer volume of content available to us that is hard to even comprehend.

-Trend #3: Everything Is Becoming Participative. Amazon.com is for me the great example of how participation has become integral to an industry, and in a delicious irony, the book industry itself. The reviews by other readers are the most significant factor in my decision to purchase (and sometimes even read!) a book now. Not only that, but Amazon takes the information of its users and by tracking their behavior provides data from them that they are most often not even aware that they are helping to create: of all the customers who looked at a certain book, here is what they actually ended up buying. This feature often leads me to other books I might otherwise not have heard of. Amazon's Kindle, I keep saying, is a hair's breadth away from ROCKING our reading world. Imagine an electronic book that allows you to comment on a sentence, paragraph, or section of the book, and see the comments from other readers... to then actually be in an electronic dialog with those other readers. It's coming. 
  
-Trend #4The New Pro-sumers. The word "pro-sumer" is a combination of the words "producer" and "consumer." More and more companies are engaging their customers in the creation of the product they sell them. From avid off-road bikers who created the original mountain bikes that now dominate the market, to substantial companies eliciting R&D work from a broader public. (And don't get me started on American Idol, which is a fairly brilliant way to create a superstar.) The nature not just of how knowledge is acquired, but how it is produced, is changing.+===== Trend #3Everything Is Becoming Participative =====
  
-Trend #5: The Age of the CollaboratorWe are most definitely in a new age, and it mattersIf I'd been born 150 years agoI might have been taken out into the wilderness and left to die--I can't digest milk, have a skin disorder that keeps me mostly out of the sun, and nerve problem in a foot that without the right shoe insert incapacitates me. There is no question that historical eras favor certain personalities and typesand the age of the collaborator is here or coming, depending on where you sitThe era of trusted authority (Time magazinefor instance, when was young) is giving way to an era of transparent and collaborative scholarship (Wikipedia)The expert is giving way to the collaborator, since 1 + 1 truly equals 3 in this realm.+Amazon.com is for me the great example of how participation has become integral to an industry, and in a delicious irony, the book industry itselfThe reviews by other readers are the most significant factor in my decision to purchase (and sometimes even read!) a book nowNot only thatbut Amazon takes the information of its users and by tracking their behavior provides data from them that they are most often not even aware that they are helping to create: of all the customers who looked at a certain book, here is what they actually ended up buyingThis feature often leads me to other books I might otherwise not have heard of.

-Trend #6An Explosion of Innovation. I'm pretty proud of my brother (Andrew Hargadon)who wrote the book How Breakthroughs Happen. In explaining the misconception of the lone inventor, he shows how innovation results from the application of knowledge from one field to another--including the important role that consultants can play in this process. Now, imagine all of us as creators, bringing our own particular experiences and insight to increasingly diverse and specific areas of knowledge. The combination of 1) an increased ability to work on specialized topics by gathering teams from around the globe, and 2) the diversity of those collaborators, should bring with it an incredible amount of innovation.+

 Trend #7: The World Gets Even Flatter and Faster. Yes, and even if that "flat" world is "spiky" or "wrinkled," it's still getting pretty darn flat. That anyone, anywhere in the world, can study using over the material from over 1800 open courses at MIT is astounding, and it's only the start. Trend #7: The World Gets Even Flatter and Faster.
