One of the most unappreciated trends of our time but one that has the potential for the most benefit involves what are known as 'application program interfaces,' or API's. Combine that with 'open source software' and 'open source data', with a collaborative culture, and you've got an opportunity for magic. Magic that can involve fast innovation - a fact that seems to delude many major organizations.
With that thought in mind, let me introduce you to a fellow named Ben Fortin.
He's a young fellow, in the city in which I live - Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Being of a generation that combines tech-savvy skills with a desire to 'fix things fast,' his story demonstrates what is possible in today's world.
Imagine this. He's sitting around, waiting for a bus, not knowing when it is going to show up, and decides at that moment that he should write a program that will help everyone waiting for a bus in the city to know when one is going to arrive.
I discovered this fact one day when I signed into Facebook and my feed popped up with this post.
Here's what Ben wrote that day:
"I was tired of standing at a bus stop and wondering where my bus was, as buses in Guelph are often running late. I discovered that Guelph provides access to real time GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) data through their open data portal. Knowing this, and with an interest in doing fun things with publicly available data, I set out to display the locations of all the buses on a simple map. I later added the ability to view a bus' route outline. My friend Michael took an interest and made several great improvements to the app including displaying all the UI controls on the map element itself, the ability to view multiple routes at once, and the ability to view a route's stops."
Want to see it in action? Visit guelph-transit-map.ca. All that data is in real-time. At this very moment.
One of the things I know about the future is that often, one of the best ways to understand future trends is simply to observe the world around you - such as by reading a local Facebook group.
So what's the back story here? I reached out to Ben - he's a young fellow, 24, with a recent degree from the university of the same name in town. And, the fact is, like many of his generation, he knows how to code, and how to quickly provide solutions to what seem to be intractable problems. Not only that but like millions of others, he is of a mindset to share his solutions with others who might want to implement those solutions with very little effort.
In this new world of open data, APIs, and collaborative sharing, innovation can happen faster than you think!

Kwanon attended a breakfast business meeting this morning to discuss Holiday shopping. He was asked what current trends we can expect in photography this Christmas. A good question for a Camera to consider, indeed.

NSFW ChatGPT refers to versions or uses of ChatGPT focused on not‑safe‑for‑work topics meaning adult, mature, or sensitive content that typical chatbots avoid by default. NSFW is a common internet term used to warn that content may be inappropriate for work or public viewing.
Some implementations aim to offer more personalized, less filtered chat experiences for grown‑up themes, with features like customization and interactive roleplay. Others raise important concerns about safety, privacy, and ethical use, so it’s vital to understand both benefits and risks before interacting with such tools.
