if you ever want to have fun, go look up old "Gartner Top Strategic Predictions For 20XX And Beyond" pages and laugh at how stupid they are, and then look at the one for 2022

gartner is bad at predictions 

"By 2021, early adopter brands that redesign their websites to support visual and voice search will increase digital commerce revenue by 30%"

"By the year 2020, the banking industry will derive $1B of business value from the use of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies."

"By 2020, AI-driven creation of "counterfeit reality," or fake content, will outpace AI’s ability to detect it, fomenting digital distrust."

"By 2021, more than 50% of enterprises will spend more per annum on bots and chatbot creation than traditional mobile app development."

"In 2020, AI will become a positive net job motivator, creating 2.3M jobs while only eliminating 1.8M jobs."

gartner is, sadly, also good at predictions sometimes 

"Through 2021, social media scandals and security breaches will have effectively zero lasting consumer impact."

"By 2020, IoT technology will be in 95% of electronics for new product designs."

"Through 2022, half of all security budgets for IoT will go to fault remediation, recalls and safety failures rather than protection."

"Through 2020, 80% of AI projects will remain alchemy, run by wizards whose talents will not scale in the organization."
