by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research<\/em><\/p>\n

ever alert for what\u2019s coming down the pike, the 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 business barometer is looking for early omens of future trends. our readers across the continent know what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

they also know what only seems<\/em> to be happening.<\/p>\n

this year we\u2019re asking where the opportunities are, what the challenges are and, significantly, what the most overhyped trends, technologies and topics are.<\/p>\n

in other words, what\u2019s the next wave on the way, and what\u2019s just a bubble in a turbulent sea?<\/p>\n

the answers on the overhyped are interesting.<\/p>\n

they range from cryptocurrency to remote work to the irs to the inadequacies of technology. and, inevitably, because this is america, comments touch on global warming, marijuana, ukraine, covid-19 and lgbtq issues.<\/p>\n

crypto<\/strong><\/p>\n

cpas seem a bit suspicious of cryptocurrency \u2013 not necessarily the use of the currency, but its ultimate viability. the term is popping up in the barometer more than just about anything else.<\/p>\n

many of the responses are rather cryptic themselves, simply saying, \u201ccrypto.\u201d<\/p>\n

but gary schroeder looks a little deeper than mere currency. he said, \u201ccryptocurrency. it has been a step that was needed to get people to think differently. it will be a new world out there, but the media needs to have some stability. it is not the currency that is the problem, but the banking industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

and somebody else lumped together \u201ccryptocurrency, supply chain challenges, blockchain\u201d as overhyped wonderfulness.<\/p>\n

technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

a surprising number of respondents are recognizing that technology isn\u2019t as promising as its inventors claim.<\/p>\n

\u201ctoo many people think technology will fix everything,\u201d said mike sylvester, a partner with fort wayne, ind., firm sbs.<\/p>\n

and kevin sethman warned of overhype in \u201cthe cloud and its massive security risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

an unnamed firm owner is even more disgusted by the tech\u2019s failure to deliver.<\/p>\n

\u201cugh!\u201d they said. \u201call software! what a nightmare. i hate getting sold and sucked into the \u2018latest and greatest\u2019 just to find that it doesn’t do what i really want it to do and it’s more expensive than the last hunk of junk i paid for. i hate that my biggest cost is software and technology. it’s more than i pay my employees and it still doesn’t always make my life easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

ai<\/strong><\/p>\n

we\u2019re also receiving comments about ai, mostly about what it isn\u2019t, but sometimes about it might turn out to be.<\/p>\n

one anonymous respondent warned, \u201cai will not make the world a better place; it will destroy humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

gretl s. siler isn\u2019t quite so scared of ai, but said, \u201ccomputer software can be a good tool, but many people still want a human to talk to and to reassure them.\u201d<\/p>\n

remote work<\/strong><\/p>\n

derrick winke, chief tax specialist with wink tax services, in troy, mich., thinks maybe we\u2019re expecting too much from remote work.<\/p>\n

comments are touching on a wide variety of other overhyped pseudo-miracles and fake problems. among them are:<\/p>\n
