Here&#8217;s what I told them, which you can also watch above:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Uber will start to threaten Amazon, as they can deliver goods at local level. <\/strong> Uber can deliver at a local level, faster than 3-day shipping from an Amazon fulfillment center. It&#8217;s also worth noting that Uber&#8217;s major investor is Google, who has Google Shopping Express, Google Wallet, Waze, search, and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A major hotel chain will launch their own branded version of Airbnb<\/strong>. \u00a0Using white label marketplace software like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.near-me.com\">NearMeCo<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharetribe.com\">Sharetribe<\/a>, brands will start to build their own versions of marketplaces. \u00a0I predict a major hotel chain will do this first &#8211;franchising the crowd, just as they franchise business owners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scanning and printing of 3D objects will cause manufacturers\u00a0to turn their heads.<\/strong> \u00a0 Much how we saw the democratization of media with Napster and Torrent sites, we&#8217;ll start to see P2P file sharing of 3D printed items, as well as people start to experiment creating simple items.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And yeah, I&#8217;m wearing a tie, a rare occurrence, as I thought I&#8217;d start the near year spiffy.
