What to Anticipate and What to Expect to Fade in 2022

Chapter 1: Anticipated Trends for 2022
As we embark on this new year, it’s time to consider what lies ahead. The predictions for 2022 suggest a mix of continuity and change in various sectors.
As I reflect on the insights gleaned from this year’s forecasts, it’s clear that there are several trends that are unlikely to materialize.
Section 1.1: What’s Expected to Decline
One notable trend that seems to be losing its steam is the popularity of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). Although the NFT phenomenon has captured public interest, the reality is that purchasing an NFT does not equate to ownership in the traditional sense. The novelty may provide a temporary thrill, but tangible appreciation is limited. The essential factor is the belief in their value, which may not sustain the fervor seen in previous years.
Additionally, it’s unlikely that cryptocurrencies will face a drastic collapse. Despite their inherent volatility, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown resilience. While fluctuations may occur, these digital currencies are not on the brink of extinction, as they remain a part of the contemporary financial landscape.
Subsection 1.1.1: The Unraveling of Passwords
Another trend that is unlikely to evolve is the replacement of passwords. The current alternatives are often cumbersome, requiring users to manage multiple authentication applications and complex passwords. Recent shifts toward email-based logins have only complicated matters further. For the foreseeable future, traditional password systems seem to be the most reliable option available.
Section 1.2: Innovations on the Horizon
On the flip side, we may see an uptick in individuals opting for QR code tattoos as a means of convenience. While this concept may have seemed dystopian a few decades ago, today it represents a pragmatic approach to accessing services and locations with ease.
Moreover, car manufacturers might start charging for features that were once included with the vehicle purchase. Toyota, for example, has begun implementing subscription fees for optional services, a model that could soon become commonplace across the industry. This raises questions about the future of consumer expectations regarding vehicle functionality.
