2022 Predictions

Remote Work

The shift to remote work has fundamentally altered our work culture, with only 23% of Americans returning to traditional office settings. Scott Galloway highlights the newfound efficiency in renting human capital remotely, saving significant time and costs for both employees and corporations 1. This transition offers an opportunity to reclaim up to 520 hours annually, equivalent to 13 weeks of time, by eliminating daily commutes and office-related preparations.

Think about how long it takes you to get ready to go to work when you were going to work, whether it's putting on a suit or a pantsuit, blow drying your hair, putting on a clean shirt, getting to the mode of transportation, transporting yourself.

Digital Signaling

NFTs are emerging as a new form of digital signaling, transforming how individuals express value and status in a post-COVID world. Scott Galloway explains that NFTs allow people to showcase their worth online, similar to how luxury items were used in the past 3. This shift is expected to increase the value of digital assets and create new revenue streams for media and sports franchises.

NFTs are the new signaling, and we're going to see it across these metaverses.

Additionally, the rise of super apps, which integrate multiple services under one platform, is reshaping the digital landscape. These apps are becoming central to capturing consumer attention and are driving innovation in regions like India and China 4.
