207 _ Trend Watch: Your World, Post-Covid
Description
Quick: 2008, COVID, and Artificial Intelligence - what do these three all have in common? What these three have in common is that people and companies are trying to reposition themselves.
Major upheavals and sliding sales have changed the landscape and rolls for workers and people who want to ‘linger’. You may not drink Starbucks and therefore you may not even be aware where all the ‘Third Places’ have gone. The term comes from an urban sociologist, Ray Oldenburg, in 1989 who wrote ‘The Great Good Place’. Third Places influence various aspects, including design, entrepreneurship, identity groups, and social dynamics. This is Part 1 of 2 of Trend Watch for Women because the world is still evolving from 17 years of influential flashpoints in time.
