What will be the next big thing in technology for the year 2022 and why?
It’s been a while since my last post. 2021 has been the year of new beginnings for me, from launching Footwork to becoming a father. Those roles and responsibilities have been all-consuming, but I do hope to get back to regular writing in 2022. Though it’s unlikely to be weekly, I’d love for you to follow along, and I so appreciate your continued dialogue and encouragement every time after I hit “publish.”

I wanted to end 2021 the same way I ended 2020: by asking fifty top thinkers in technology to finish the sentence: “The next big thing next year is…” Last year’s post still has the most views of anything I’ve written, and I found myself looking back at it several times over the past year to see what felt prescient. There was perhaps too much optimism a year ago about a post-COVID society, but many of the predictions around the growth of entrepreneurship, the movement towards decentralization, tailwinds in consolidation and bundling, and more were spot on. Though web3 and crypto are popular themes in this year’s contributions, there is a long tail of interesting and nuanced ideas for what 2022 has in store. I’d love to hear your responses, too, in the comments. I wish all of you a healthy and happy holiday season, and the very best for the new year. Thanks for reading next big thing!
