‘Twas the night before future, when all through the world,
Not a sector was stagnant, innovations unfurled.
The trends were all shifting with such great care,
In hopes that tomorrow, the future’d be there.
The policymakers nestled snug in their beds,
While visions of quantum leaps danced in their heads.
With blockchain for audits and AI for thought,
They pondered the changes these wonders had brought.
When out in the sky there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my screens to see what was the matter.
Away to my dashboard I flew like a flash,
To study the data on trends rising fast.
The moon on the grid of our smart city glow,
Gave the luster of future to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a fleet of drones, delivering cheer!
First came quantum encryption, so safe and secure,
No hacker could break it, of that we were sure.
With data protected in layers so deep,
Quantum-resistant security lulled us to sleep.
Next up, the drones! Oh, how they did fly,
Delivering messages across the night sky.
Hyper-localized, precise in their flight,
Spreading information as quick as the light.
And there in the distance, so vivid and bright,
Holographic interfaces came into sight.
Three-dimensional grids, no longer just screens,
Guided our hands through digital dreams.
Digital twins, those twins of the real,
Mirrored our cities, our bridges, our steel.
They ran simulations to test out the stress,
Ensuring our systems were nothing but best.
Blockchain for supply chains kept things on track,
With provenance clear, no turning back.
From green procurement to fair trade deals,
The ledger ensured that all was for real.
Then out of the blue, what else did appear,
But bioengineered foods, now drawing near.
Sustainable farming from lab-grown delights,
Promised to end hunger’s long nights.
Autonomous cars drove so silent, so quick,
Transforming commutes with each gentle click.
No longer bound by the roads we once knew,
Our cities were smarter, the routes all brand new.
And then from the earth, rising clean in the air,
Came carbon-negative factories beyond compare.
They sucked up emissions, turned waste into gain,
The world grew more vibrant with each new campaign.
But amidst all these trends, one stood out the most,
The rise of cybernetic minds, our future’s new host.
Blending the digital with neurons untold,
Our minds, now enhanced, grew wiser and bold.
As I marveled at all the new trends that took flight,
A sound broke the stillness—so soft, yet so right.
It was the hum of the future, the beat of the new,
A rhythm of progress, for me and for you.
The world kept on changing, no trend left behind,
As sectors evolved, each one redefined.
And I heard it proclaimed, as it soared out of sight,
“Happy foresight to all, and to all a good night!”
