This NASA-inspired slideshow from SlideShare may inspire you. Kudos to skytland

Some say space is an outlet for new technologies such as microwaves & lasers. That later find broader uses.

Some say space is a waste of funds, in a world of hunger.

2thinknow View space as a great & grand inspiration for innovation. And NASA as a Creative Company, when at its best.

What’s your dreams on space?

This insightful SlideShare presentation makes links between coding and classical thought. Thanks to JonDahl. Well done!

As online media grows, this channel will increase in its reach & frequency.

Interesting connections.

2thinknow take the view that classics (Aristotle, Plato & the Enlightenment) will be resurgent.

Which is one reason why trends support the so-called US/Melbourne Model of education. Broad then vocational.

What do you think of the Classics? What about Latin? Aristotle? Relevant?

Be inspired by these slides, thanks to DIOGYU on Slideshare.

2thinknow do.

We predicted it would shift, and that their would be an economic crisis. Correctly. Back in October 2007, before others.

If you would like to see what it all means, including Obama’s election, see these slides on slideshare.

Opportunity for Local Innovation.

There are a lot of economic opportunities out there, but bright minds need opportunity.

Creativity needs its voice. Anyway, look at the slides.

I hope they help you in your quest to profit in the Bear Market.

Thanks to SlideShare for spreading this message, by placing the slideshow on the front of their website.

And to all readers & netizens who send us positive messages about our work in nascent trend analysis, used to predict the economic crisis.

The Trends. 2thinknow view.

Handmade, hand-painted, decorating mass-objects are key trends of the 21st century.

This is a nascent trend of modifying mass-produced objects.

Decoration & personalisation by hand, not machine, will be a strong dominant theme of the 21st century.

Once we were impressed by the modernist metallic sameness of airplanes. Now we are impressed by their uniqueness.

The mass-produced object is losing it’s 1960s gloss, at the cutting-edge. And has been replaced by artisan, hand-crafted.

That’s the 2thinknow view.

Your view? Any neat examples of these trends?

But the design of such a basic item, is a design challenge. Especially a design that has to be practical (at least for 10 minutes walking!). And also entice women to spend money.

What’s the Trend?

Shoes, especially hand-crafted, hand-decorated.

National Gallery of Victoria had a hand-decorated sneaker exhibition. There’s a ’scene’ in Melbourne.

Handmade/decorated will be important in days of sustainability & local sourcing. We’ll need to transition to craft, trends suggest it will be the new local service economy.

The folks at Handmade Nation are doing some interesting work.

You may just like the shoes, of course.

That’s the 2thinknow view. What’s your view?
