De-Gadgetisation, New Frugalism, Mass Collaboration, Cultures of Innovation, Privacy and Lifestyle Logging, and Technology Refuseniks.
These are among 12 social shifts in technology and culture for 2012 predicted by Social Futurist, Mal Fletcher.
Widely broadcast and published, Mal Fletcher has researched social trends for two decades. He is the founder/director of Next Wave International and leads the London-based Think Tank, 2020Plus.
He says: “My interest in the future is not merely in its technological, economic or political dimensions. I’m interested in what they might mean for people – in families, communities, companies and groups of all kinds.”

Your websight is marvellous. Full of information for this generation. Great discussions & more. I am pastoring a church in India...
Sam, India
In the UK in 2008, the Church does not seem to do well on broadcast media. Yet it has important things to say. I want to thank you Mal for your forward-looking approach to sorting this out.

I was much blessed to hear Mal in the Portuguese Conference in January. My expectations for life were lifted up! Thank you for the good work you've done in our Church!
Paula, Portugal
