From what you write, I think you get the essence of what the book is about. Now, you are at queue number ... Lora – At times I wonder if the reviews I write represent the original works well.

Always like those books full of inspirations. I think I should also take a look at it~! :) To me, it doesn't matter whether the predictions come true or not... (seriously, we don't need someone to tell us what will happen exactly in the future and it may be too much to claim for one person to predict the whole world in the future...) However, sometimes we need the stimulations to reflect and think. I hope I would also play a part to make a world a better place~! Thanks for your sharing! Write more. ;) Oh… the book sounds like an interesting one! Always like those books full of inspirations. I think I should also take a look at it~! :)

It's been a while (all the raining in Singapore). Erm ... no comments on your Fengshui skill :) ECL – Ah, speaking of such, it’s time for me to visit the botanic gardens.

To actually implement something that make good use of what the trends are is the hard part. In a way, the reward of spotting the trends (in the case of the author) is possibly book sales and he can use the book to market his PR business. To be able to capitalize on the trends spotted borders between a million/billion dollar business and a life-changing experience for many. PS. Look at you! Intra-day blog entries with tons of innovative dishes. You are the one who has all the ink (墨水)! :) Tigerfish – You brought up a good point.

I enjoy such books though most of this nature talk almost about the same things. In a gist, I think we will see media, technology, sociology, entertainment etc...intermingle one another. No boundaries, and that's always the challenge- to find application innovations. But that's only one-quarter of the crystal ball gaze. Sometimes, I tend to think it's easier being a futurist than one who implements. Woops...:O You listen to music, watch movies, read books and review all of them… 太有墨水了!
