What Lies Ahead in 2017

Some of you went to the talk by James Whitaker on the "The Future of Tech and the World." Here is another take in Wired of the 2017 Trends that will shape the very near future.  It's some of the same, but includes green energy, snapchat, devices that listen in, escalation of Russian cybertricks, and swarms of drones.  Click on the links in the articles for more on that.

I offer this to you, and there are other "top trends" in other e-magazines, but it will hopefully get you started on thinking further about your proposal ideas.  I also found this in the blog roll.  In general, Wired is a good resource for tech briefing ideas, and for a good read.
