Just summarizing an article published in the July 2006 Wired issue :
- People Power : the peer production era has arrived : blogging, customer reviews, user generated content, photo and video sharing, etc...
- Video Unlimited : any time, any place, any format, any screen...
- Personalization : is the norm on the web, now getting to the physical world, including drugs.
- Environment : increasingly a concern for the masses.
- Acquisitions to buy R&D and accelerate : ie Microsoft which has acquired 24 companies in the last 12 months.
- Open Systems : Amazon or Ebay open their systems : you may tap into and integrate part of their websites and their data.
I'm thinking over these 6 Mega Trends every day. Though, there are some others (security, oldering of population, climate warming, etc) which also drive the economy.
