Virtual reality (VR) is the next frontier for this evolution. Virtual worlds are changing how we do business, learn, play and explore.

How To
Which consumer trends are you most familiar with?
Trends indicate shifts in consumption patterns.
While they can be unpredictable, trends tend to follow certain patterns. There are two types: cyclical or secular trends.
In general, cycles are prone to repeat themselves over time. In other words, there have been three decades worth of economic growth. This means that consumers tend to spend more each year. These cycles tend to be short-lived. In fact, spending declined in the recession of last decade.
Secular trends are changes that take place over a longer time period and last long. Examples include technological advances such as the internet and mobile phones. These trends are often driven primarily by changes in lifestyles and tastes, and do not necessarily correspond with economic activity.
The biggest trend is the shift to online shopping. Consumers are increasingly turning away from traditional brick-and-mortar stores and purchasing goods online. Another trend is eCommerce. In recent years, eCommerce has grown significantly faster than physical retailing.
Another important trend is the increase in social media usage. Social media has become ubiquitous and is used daily by millions around the world. Consumers use social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to communicate with their loved ones, share information and express opinions.
Another trend is the increased use of wearable technology. Wearable technology such as smartwatches or fitness trackers, smart clothing or contact lenses, are all very common. Wearable tech devices allow us to monitor our health and well being, interact with the outside world, and monitor our environment.
