Gigatrend

Gigatrends: The Boundary Conditions of Modern Life and their Formation

An evolutionary gigatrend is far more basic and decisive than any trend currently known to managers and economists, including the megatrends popularized by John Naisbitt in the 1980s.

Certainly, e-government is such a gigatrend[…] being just one of the myriad of evident, tangible ways that the Internet is changing relationships between individuals, businesses, and the government.

This gigatrend is based in part on the notion of a society underpinned by a series of dichotomies between values and empirical facts, and between goals and means, etc.
