When eBay, Pepsico and Google need to kick-start innovation, here's what they do > Greetings Trend Hunters! This week, the Trend Hunter team is packing up our office to move to our new location... Stay tuned for a tour in the next couple weeks. DIY Sci-Fi is this week's PRO Trend, with a score of 5.3. The implications: The "geeky" consumer group is growing increasingly tech-savvy, with advanced DIY projects centered around objects that were once deemed as fictional. Consumers are going above and beyond with these DIY projects, creating functional, non-fictional sci-fi tools to defy the laws of physics and prove their status as the future Bill Gates. Some examples: Homemade Death Rays Dangerous DIY weapons DIY Mechanical Arms Building Block Weaponry DIY Jet-Powered Bikes (UPDATE) Sci-Fi-Inspired DIY Other new PRO Trends include: 1. Virtual Deal Trading, 2. Connected Activism, 3. Lesscapism, 4. Scan Marketing, 5. Apocalyptic Attitude, 6. Intangible Generosity, 7. Ebonics Education, and more.
