Tech, tech, tech! It’s an industry that’s constantly on the move and regularly churning out big news. That’s why it can feel a bit overwhelming to try and forecast happenings in the tech space. But, fear not! Praytell’s Tech Practice has put together three simple trends that are easy to keep in mind as we head deeper into 2024. Check it out:

Restful Tech
Building on our wellness prediction, we suspect the push for restful tech to continue.

Everyone’s searching for a way to stay connected with less time staring at the black mirror.

Tech brands should jump in and attach themselves to fast-breaking conversations in order to move with culture
