While some of these seem tongue-in-cheek they are based on trends I’ve seen over the last several years. I first tweeted them and decided to drop them into a blog post so that commenting could accompany the actual items.
Watch the past disappear
If you fee strongly about something you read, then go ahead and comment.
Think I missed something? Add it.
- Mobile (rolling) hotspot using inter-car connected wi-fi. One car subscribes then using bridging, all are connected.
- Flexible phone with at least a 5″ multi-touch screen. Names such as “Roll-and-Go” or “Flexiform” will start to be sold.
- Twitter partners with ATM companies to allow updating twitter status for those without devices. Banking updates = fad.
- Highly viral application connects all social networks and is used by travel agents to notify friends when traveling.
- First self-aware garbage can tracks consumption and generates list for grocery store. Partnered with RFID companies.
- Worlds first “real” neighborhood becomes 100% Facebook connected, delivers community meeting with all in attendance.
- You will be hollered at by a live Ad (billboard), using your online moniker, while in an airport (Twitter enabled spam).
- First high school graduation live blogging by students draws more online attendance than at the event.
- Quad-core Netbook with 3 Gb of memory, 250 Gb SSD running Moblin/Win7 dual-boot for under $400.
- IE6 is still being ran on more desktops than Google Chrome.

quad core isn’t going to happen, the processors are still as much as your price tag.
@tact, brand new quad i7 chips are already under $300, the old Duo Qxxx models are already breaking $150 retail.
Thanks @John. For me to comment on that would be a little self-supporting, since I do work for the company that makes them.
