You are interested in mind mapping and the use of it. It may be that you’ve seen articles about the direction or trends in mind mapping this year or before. Some even propose that mind mapping can even move into ‘main stream’ this year.
I believe mind mapping is still not really where it should be. In fact… evidence supports this. Have a look with me.
To investigate the growth of mind mapping, I used Google trends. It may be safe to assume that the more people search on mindmap related keywords, the more people are interested.
Sure, when we all know how to mindmap we don’t need to google on the keyword, but that’s not the case yet.
Google allows us to go back until 2004. I examined the keyword: MINDMAP, MIND MAPPING, MINDMAPPING.
Do you think the number of searches has grown from 2004 till now for these words?
