Accountability is a good thing. Here areÂÂ my predictions for 2014 and how they played out. Last year I called for: 1) continued progress for the U.S. economy, 2) acceleration of healthcare reform, 3) beginning of similar reform in higher ed, 4) big data impacting many sectors, 5) tech/media/fashion converging, and 6) robotics becoming pervasive. Looking back, I would say that the economic forecast was right on; healthcare reform went slower than I expected because of the botched federal exchange roll-out; higher ed reform is accelerating; big data is having various impacts (but that was a softball prediction); slow roll-out of smart watches is beginning a tech/media/fashon convergence;ÂÂ and robotics becameÂÂ pervasive in interesting ways.
