I found there is a lot of value in following technological trends and being able to anticipate how things will unfold, with some degree of certainty. There will always be variances as technology evolves in ways we do not expect. Then we have the human embracing of it, which can alter things greatly.

That said, having a general direction of what is progressing, along with the pace, is helpful.

Right now AI is the top banana and going to impact everything.
