Our Thoughts
As OurThings evolves, we will offer the community reflections on broader trends that we are seeing. This thought leadership might include featured essays by community members, spotlights on specific collections, ideas about building and curating collections, the role that collections play in the broader community, and general cultural trends. As our community evolves, the ideas found here will align with the stages of community development and the different demographics that we hope to attract. In doing so, we hope to both reflect the values of these diverse communities and ensure that OurThings continues to evolve and add value.
A Vision for Our Things
Many new companies are born from a desire to improve how a problem is solved, how an industry operates, how we live in the world, or even how the world functions. Most recently, these companies have been aligned with broader trends such as Web3 and blockchain, data and artificial intelligence, internet of things and industry 4.0, sustainable energy production and the green revolution, biotechnology and new frontiers of healthcare, hard tech and digital devices such as AR and VR, the future of work, and a wide range of consumer products that aim to improve our daily lives. Among these trends is the growing interest in how digital technology can be used to improve our physical world. A wide range of companies have arisen to improve the efficiency of construction, supply chain, energy distribution and use, agriculture and food, how we navigate the world, the vehicles we utilize, and the homes in which we live.
