I just ran across the Center for the Future of Museums. It is a research center run by the American Association of Museums. Their focus is identifying and analyzing trends that will impact the future of museums.
The chart below is taken from their research on U.S. demographic trends and highlights the growing diversity of the U.S. They also have a blog and a daily research round-up.
Since they are museum people, they know how to curate. Both the blog and daily research round-up are excellent sources of trend information. And while obviously museum oriented, the information is useful for other areas.
So if you are interested in future trends (and who isn't?), check it out. You never know what you may learn. For example, did you know there is a Dr. Pepper museum?
