What will the 2010s be like?

[kagerousan]

this "emo" thing will be remembered as kindof a silly trend, and we will be glad it's in the past.

computers will be a bit faster than they are today, but they will not increase in speed as much as they did in the 90s.

medicaid and medicare systems will experience constantly worsening financial problems.

the original world of warcraft will turn 6 years old in Nov 2010. i'm thinking by then it will be technologically far behind enough that it will have lost most of its customer base (hopefully to be replaced by a Blizzard sequel?).

mobile phones will continue getting smaller, and incorporate more memory and processing power. mobile multimedia applications will be expanded to take advantage of this power.

web advertising will grow more sophisticated (and successful).

facebook will be viewed as the "microsoft" of social networking, and Mark Zuckerberg will be viewed as the new Bill Gates.

the United States will still be enmired in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Alternative fuel sources will become more practical. alternative refueling stations will become more common, and mainstream oil companies will add alternative fuels to the list of products they sell.

interesting question! that's it for my prognostications. what are some of yours? =]
