Looking back at some posts I’ve saved from over the years, this one stood out today:
Today, the tech hobbies with momentum include: math-based currencies like Bitcoin, new software development tools like NoSQL databases, the internet of things, 3D printing, touch-free human/computer interfaces, and “artisanal” hardware like the kind you find on Kickstarter…
It’s a good bet these present-day hobbies will seed future industries.
It’s especially fulfilling to see mass adoption of wearables today, as well as the ever expanding set of companies offering options to collect, correlate, and offer alerts/intervention/action, based on body signal sensor readings, like EKG, blood pressure, etc.
Makes me happy to have explored the space years ago with the euMetrica project in 2012-2013.
More on the topic and 2 take away lessons for self - in my recent LinkedIn post.
(it’s funny - even TripNotify, as a single day hackathon concept from back in 2012, was in some ways a preview of all of the fall detection apps available today in 2019)

Gotta keep going - what’s next?
