That is, timing is everything; therefore, in order not to be too early or too late with the idea, the innovator has to be able to at least find a strong, valid signal in the avalanche of noise about the future. Here's an exercise I'm considering for my students.

In my opinion the growth and popularity of Electronic Sports is in part due to the improved economy, but more importantly most games were tied to a game counsel until recently they have become available over the internet. Entire ecosystems have formed bring companies in to support teams of online gamers. This exposure to more and more gamers has open the door for increased sales revenue. I do believe that the perfect storm came into play where online speed caught up to the gaming bandwidth needed to take this to the next level. I don't see this as exponential growth, but the industry will continue to grow as the demand for real time streaming and view of becoming a professional gamer is anything like a professional athlete. In the future it is clear that the companies involved with virtual reality and the interfacing of that technology will greatly benefit from this market.
