Another Planet

To feel what concept and product development is we are supposed to see a development as seen in the post earlier about the organizer with attitude. But what is a trend, and how do you recognize a trend? We are about to explore a sixth sense of the human being. For a start we begin with an assignment of how Europe will look like in 50 years from now.

As an interesting discussion follows I write down all the necessary statements. The idea is to see and think about new technologies and habitats, and how this will take shape over this time period. Discussion groups gets formed easily and a flexible environment, compared with a cafeteria -including the need for coffee in this early morning-, is created.

World leadership will change is definitely written down as one of most important factors, Asia will be more open and understood with Europe as a sidekick, or most reliable partner.

As our group continues we get to the following statements that for instance Asia, with China as the main factor will be the future as in dominance and behind the steer of the boat, but Europe will be an important factor in this. Europe with countries like the Netherlands will have an important meaning in years of sustainable entrepreneurship; as in pioneer technology. Besides this a development as stimulation of this technology will get a new vision; more taxes on current methods, and even possible boycott against environmental damaging products, like fuel for instance.

It was an absolute majority about replacement of transport in the future and America would stay behind. Asia would get very important in this as they are currently already ahead on many occasions (for instance fast and commercial light rail trains) and aware of the current situation; as they would produce and consume the same as an average American they probably would need another planet.
