Brian Jacobs' Hopes, Not Predictions

Another year, another blog; welcome to 2022; the Cog Blog's ninth year of (almost) weekly witterings. The fashionable thing to do would be to fill this post with forecasts of the year to come. I don't do this for two reasons. First, things are so topsy-turvy who knows, and second, it's easy to check back 12 months later to my embarrassment and everyone else's general merriment. More of us should check back on the accuracy of the predictions that those braver (or more foolhardy) than me choose to make. So, no predictions. But like everyone I have hopes. Ambitions for the industry. Things that I would like to see happen.
