Divining Trends

摘要

Do you ever think much about trends? Do you wonder if body piercing is here to stay or it polyester leisure suits are ever coming back? Are pagers, Beanie Babies, and Barney going to haunt us forever? Is the stock market going to continue its climb, or are we due for a dizzying decline? Even if we don't heed them, trends happen, and there are plenty of folks who do nothing but pay close attention to what's going on in society.
