In general, I'm not usually big on "predictions" for the new year. So most of the "big ideas" experts say are vague memories in April and August forgotten. I know that experts say the color of 2013 is emerald green, the screen of Anne Hathaway's haircut may have locked a sign Oscar and the Chicago Bears will be rebuilding their team.
