Every December we make a list of resolutions that we want to achieve during the new year. At the same time, at least some of us also try to guess what is going to happen in our lives. And the internet is one of those platforms for guessing about newness.
At the end of 2023, Pinterest made a whole list of their predictions and new and trendy things that will dominate everyone’s lives in 2024.
