What’s Next? New York Tech Meetup’s Jessica Lawrence Makes 5 Predictions for 2012
From her vantage point as NYTM’S Managing Director, Jessica Lawrence has first look at what’s happening on the Big Apple startup scene. She sees trends before the rest of us even know they’re on the horizon. Starting this month, Lawrence will be sharing her perspective in a monthly column on this Tumblr as one of our “human leading indicators” — individuals from around the world with unique insight into what’s next. First up: 5 big tech trends to watch in 2012.
1.People finally start learning to code en masse.
2. Startup services will be built on human brainpower, rather than just computer algorithms.
3. A newly politically engaged tech community will emerge.
4. Expect surges around untapped markets
5. New York’s tech scene will continue to build critical mass, attracting cash and new talent.
Interesting insight from Jessica (cheers for NY tech!). “Human Leading Indicator” is quite a title.
