Yes, it’s already that transitional time when our current year ends and another begins, and today and tomorrow are quickly changing hands. Rather than look back at significant trends of the past 366 days (2012 was a leap year, remember?), we asked a wide variety of technologists, designers, and strategists across frog’s studios around the world to take a look into the future. The near future, that is. “Near” in that 2013 is not only upon us, but also very “near” that these technologies are highly feasible, commercially viable, and are bubbling up to the surface of the global zeitgeist. We believe you’ll be hearing a lot more about these trends within the next 12 months, and possibly be experiencing them in some form, too.

Here’s Frog Design's second annual list of Tech Trend predictions for the coming year. There are 20 individual forecasts and, new for 2013, Frog Design have also related each prediction to larger waves in business, culture, and innovation. Flip through the presentation. above of visit the original post for a detailed description on one of the trends.

A glow in the dark bike beats the neon-reflector vest style-wise when it comes to safety on the streets. Cambridge Bicycle worked together with Geekhouse Bikes to create this powder-coated bike with glow in the dark paint. The powder-coat is said to be more durable than standard paint. (via Doobybrain)
