TweetChat Questions: Mid-Year Tech Predictions
The questions we’ll tweet about will include the following:

First, be honest: what tech development has most surprised you so far this year? From cloud to AI to data, what’s a development you weren’t expecting?
Because it’s 2024, let’s talk AI. What do you see in the future of AI over the next 6-12 months?
Cloud doesn’t get as many headlines, but it’s bigger than ever. What about the future of cloud over the next year or so?
Cybersecurity has only grown in importance. Your view on the near term evolution of security?
What’s a major worry you have about tech, and/or a challenge that deserves more attention?
Winner and losers over the next year or so in the tech sector? Not companies, but technologies, trends, industry efforts?
How about the fortunes of the average tech professional? How does the next 6-12 months look for the careers of tech pros?
What advice would you give to companies struggling to keep pace with today’s rapid tech changes?
What’s one last key point that executives and managers need to know about the near term future of technology?
