That confounds a general trend to follow an order, increasing or decreasing, rather than apparently random. They note that it is, in fact, an EPSS on a mobile device. So it’s a subset of the first category. You’re going from the middle category to the broader and then to the narrower.

Ross is renown as a futurist, perceiving trends ahead of most folks. It’s not the only model for information management given the increasing challenge, but it’s a worthwhile read if you’re looking for help in coping with information deluge. I’d heard Ross speak at an event, courtesy of my late friend Jay Cross.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I was asked for my responses to questions about trends. So the article went from my claim about an ecosystem approach to touting three particular trends. And yet, these trends aren’t really new and aren’t really right! So, first, mobile is pretty much old news.

But isn’t that just a trend? But isn’t that likely to be a trend, too? For instance, we can create artificial boundaries, and cite trends. I can create arbitrary boundaries and likely find differences. And it’s also trying to define a category when it’s a continuum. Why try to attach it to a generation?

He was concerned with “the trend that tells us everything must be short.” He asked if I’d written anything, and I realize I really haven’t. A colleague asked “is anyone talking about how deep learning requires time, attention, and focus?” So here’s a riff on deep learning and expertise.

The speaker’s point was more than just the famous quote “never predict anything, particularly the future” Instead, he suggested that what happens is that you follow the trends, but things take an unexpected turn owing to some influence no one had thought to account for.

What trajectories can we expect if the trends are extended? Given my reflections on the past year, it’s worth thinking about the implications. These are not predictions (as has been said, “never predict anything, particularly the future”). Instead, these are musings, and perhaps wishes for what could (even should ) occur.

The extension was that you needed market analytics to see new trends. The claim was that if you trusted to human sensing, you’d be only able to track what’s become common knowledge, and that doesn’t provide the necessary competitive advantage. And it caused me to think a little deeper.

On the contrary, there was a gap between performance and self-estimates of skill (a general trend when 80% of people think they’re above average :), and little time spent evaluating the quality of the information. Social learning skills similarly should not be assumed.
