The Young and Hip Ar |
|
| There has been a great deal of talk about the housing boom lately and whether or not the bubble will burst. (Recent figures indicate that it won’t.) But what’s not being talked about much is how the rising cost of housing is driving young people away from the large urban areas, such as New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Chicago. |

Location-Based Techn |
|
| When General Motors introduced OnStar in some of its Cadillac models in 1996, it was pioneering an industry known as location-based services ?or LBS. Because of the existence of global positioning satellites that can triangulate the position of a GPS transmitter anywhere in the world, GM had the idea that roadside assistance and other services could be delivered to drivers in their cars on a subscription basis. |

|
| A central theme underlying all of the analysis we do here at Trends is the realization that the rate of change is constantly increasing ?and it뭩 been doing so in a measurable way for at least the past 500 years. |
