Technology vs. Nature
References: news.independent
It comes as no surprise that one forward step for man equals one big step backward for nature as studies show a link between cell phone usage and the death of bees. Apparently the radiation from cell phones is wreaking havoc on the eco system of bees and this has the potential to rock our world too - after all, bees pollinate more than flowers... they pollinate crops and crops equal food.
The long term effects could mean food shortages on a worldwide scale putting into effect a chain reaction of higher prices and suffering the world over.

Trend Themes
1. Bee Decline Due to Cell Phone Radiation - Opportunities for eco-friendly phone designs or products that assist in pollination without bees.
2. Alternative Pollination Methods - Innovations in robotic pollination or alternative insect pollinators for crops.
3. Sustainable Agriculture - Opportunities to develop more sustainable farming practices to ensure food security in the face of a potential bee population decline.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Technology - Opportunities for companies to develop eco-friendly smartphone designs that minimize radiation levels.
2. Agriculture - Opportunities to invest in robotic pollination technologies to mitigate the risks associated with bee population declines.
3. Sustainable Development - Investments in sustainable farming practices to address the potential food security crisis caused by a decrease in the bee population.
