Megatrends Shaping Tech: How a Futurist Sees the World


Listen Later

What does a futurist see when they look ahead—not just to next year, but to 2050 and beyond? In this episode, Barbara sits down with Brian Comiskey, Senior Director of Innovation & Trends at the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), to explore the megatrends transforming our world. From industrial AI and digital twins to quantum computing and generational shifts, Brian offers a window into the technological, societal, and human-centered forces that are defining the future. Together, they discuss how industrial innovation is not only catching up to—but in many cases, leading—the digital revolution, and what it takes for businesses and communities to thrive in a world of constant change.
