Any thoughts about this STM forecast? https://www.stm-assoc.org/standards-technology/stm-trends-26/. Thanks to Richard Poynder for posting this on Twitter.

Personally, it seems a bit idyllic to me but the general idea is correct with lots of innovation and great ideas trying to take root. But continuing on the whole farming analogy, there are also invasive species (like APCs?), good and bad government policies, distorted incentives to plant certain crops over others, corporate farms that are driving mom and pop farms out of business, rising demand and prices for crops labeled “organic” (OA in this analogy), barriers to market for farmers who aren’t well connected, etc. Not to be a rain cloud here, but I don’t see this farm as all bees and flowers 😊
