My 2019 Predictions

Here are my predictions (three months into the year)…

Thanks to everyone that encouraged me to continue with the blog. I still have a lot to explain, learn and discuss. 

  1. New communication channels are on the way. We have text, direct message, alerts… with new digital applications, new channels are on the way.
  2. Block chain will find its application for personal use. Side business will continue to emerge and block chain may be a easy and legal binding way to keep individuals accountable. 
  3. Grocery shopping – Digital Grocery Vending Machines. Soon we will see inventory is delivered in a shipping container – that is swapped out at critical thresholds. Just think – robot arms grabbing the items for shelves that appear to be staked without logical order. If you know for every two milks, you sell one dozen eggs. The shelves get stacked for optimized inventory storage. 
  4. Grocery shopping – VR. Soon you will be able to pick the fruit from your living room.  Through VR (and Robot arms) you will be able to pick an individual apple from a shelf. 
  5. Grocery store formats. New formats will be focused around customer types and not neighborhood. 
  6. Banking – brick and mortar facilities. Will execute as a customer service facility. A place where a small percent still does their banking with a real-live teller and where others address errors in their banking transactions. Smaller and change in their op ed. 
  7. Government actions will define standards of expectation and validations for breaches in consumer privacy, data use and ownership, and general policies.
