Five Major Trends

 

There are a handful of major trends that are driving the world today, above and beyond all others. These are so important that they seem to be driving the bulk of all other smaller trends. A couple are new, and a couple are not properly defined yet, but all are remarkable in their impact. For that reason, rather than writing about sub-trends in this issue, I thought enough of these had become evident that sharing them would be helpful.
