Trends

Happy post Valentine’s Day or as many refer to it, Happy Card Company who created this billion-dollar industry. We can thank Coca-Cola for helping to create the image of Santa Claus, to this day! Yep, the world back then was in perfect harmony – according to Coke. Holidays, okay, the amount of money dropped on…

In the coming weeks, you will learn the Gen-AI terminology you need to know, with definitions (also available as a download in the learning library), and the latest learning technology/systems worth a few eyeballs. Plus, “Product Spotlight” covers one learning system that I dive into with lots of gusto – basically, it is a re-branded…

Before diving into the forecasts for 2023, one must examine a few trends that appeared over the summer of 2022. A couple of vendors saw a couple of these trends, but for the most part based on numerous discussions, the masses saw pieces never realizing it was all, as they say – whoever came up…

Initially I was going to write about my forecasts for 2020. Then I realized that the post would mainly focus on one major trend that will impact the space in such a way (good, I believe), and thus as a result, decided to hold off on my forecasts for 2020 – until Oct. As part…

Do you have your time travel gear? Shoes? Old-timey dress wear? British accent, or can you fake one? Ability to enjoy open-air travel without a headache? Then if yes, enter the time travel machine. We are going on a journey. Set the time back to the ’70s or ’80s or ’60s, maybe the 50s, just…
