It really annoys me that this event is referred to as "unexpected." People on my side of the room, have been predicting such trends since November.
It's like hiring a bus driver whose sole experience related to the job was organizing neighborhoods to demand mass transit, then proclaiming surprise when he crashes the motor coach.
