    I have realized many times when I think of an idea, it is manifested with current tech and trends. However, while thinking of a future tech might limit the scope of the product (unpredicted development). So how to tackle such a situation?

    In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and design, staying ahead of the curve can feel like a constant sprint. But fear not, fellow trend explorers! Here are a few handy tips to keep your creative compass calibrated: 1. Cultivate a curious mind: Follow the thought leaders: Identify influential figures in your field and tune into their insights. Social media, blogs, and podcasts are treasure troves for expert opinions and emerging technology trends. 2. Dive into the digital depths: Become a blog-hopping pro: Subscribe to design and tech blogs that cater to your specific interests. They'll keep you updated on the latest advancements and showcase inspiring work from fellow creatives. 3. Experimentation is key: Don't be afraid to play with new tools and techniques: Whether it's a cutting-edge software program, a fresh design methodology, or simply a new color palette, step outside your comfort zone and see what emerges. 4. Network with the best: Attend industry events and conferences: Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of conferences and workshops. These gatherings offer a wealth of knowledge, inspiration, and opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals.

    Basically, what I recommend is to talk to people in the industry. You don't need to contact Elon Musk to stay informed about these things, haha, but if you can, answer questions, just like you are doing now on this forum. Connect with people in different ways and try to have a conversation with them if possible. That helped me a lot to learn not only from public internet content but also directly from many people.
