"We expect that the next big thing will be a bigger version of the last big thing.
What we don’t expect, yet what is most likely, is that the next big thing won’t look important to us at all—until it’s so important that we can’t ignore it. "
– Brian Eno http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/2010/11/brian-eno-next-big-thing/

THE NEXT BIG THING WILL BE NOTHING LIKE THE LAST ONE
The only thing we can be shure of, is that the next big thing will probably be nothing like the previous one.
Who knew that the One Piece would become a success in 2009? What will be the One Piece of 2011?
Can we find some mechanics and other traits shared by the successfull brands and campaigns?

CREATIVITY DRIVES THE FUTURE Visual Futurist, Syd Mead
– technology tends to build on itself, grow together and cross-reference each other
– technology is just an assistant to the human intellect
– creativity is the creation of putting elements together in different combinations, and creativity drives the future
- science fiction is reality ahead of future

Can kids teach themselves?Scientist, Sugatra Mitra
Hole in the Wall (HIW) experiment, where in the year 1999 a computer was placed in a kiosk created within a wall in an Indian slum at Kalkaji, Delhi and children were allowed to freely use it.
The experiment aimed at proving that kids could be taught by computers very easily without any formal training.
Sugata termed this as Minimally Invasive Education (MIE). The experiment has since been repeated at many places.

«Marketers typically don't try to becomeplatforms or court developers, but that's all about to change.
An ever-changing array of platforms will erode our fascination with single venues and get us thinking about how we can hedge our bets by helping developers succeed acrossa portfolio of them.»
