My Tech predictions for 2008
The bbc site has it's predictions up for the top 5 technologies of 2008. The list is basically:
- The web to go
- Ultra mobile PCs
- IPTV
- WiMax
- Mobile VoIP
While the list is well thought-out, and I'm sure it won't be a million miles off the mark, I can't help feeling they've left a few things out.
So, to keep you lucky lucky ladies in the loop, here are my top tech predictions for 2008.
1. MP3 Players
Apple have release a wonderful little gadget called the iPod. Basically you take your "compact discs" and "rip" them into some other crazy format. You then put them on your iPod and you can listen to them wherever you go! Without having to take the CDs along with you! I know it sounds crazy, but it's true - it's like a TAPELESS WALKMAN!
2. Portable projectors
Projectors are big, expensive and noisy. Let's see this change with the commercial production of some awesome tiny laser projector, shall we?
3. The Teabagging And Shit Game
Ok I admit that this is less a technological breakthrough, and more a concept I'm trying to introduce. But I had to sneak it in somewhere, and I don't think it deserved it's own post... The act of teabagging starts in the regular way - when a naked man squats over the face of a woman. The female opens her mouth and accepts into it the nutsack of the mail. A slight sucking action and occasionally a gentle humming sound can make things more exciting. Anyway, to REALLY increase the fun and start the Teabagging And Shit Game, the male may attempt to squeeze out nuggets of crap onto the female's neck. Be careful though - if she discovers the shit, she'll bite your nuts and you lose the game. OH NOES!
4. More robotic killing machines
The US are using more and more unmanned vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan. I expect they'll pump billions more dollars into this area over the next 12 months. It'll be like the start of the whole skynet / terminator thing, but with better acting and, hopefully, the actual death of Edward Furlong.
Treaclemuff, what are your predictions for 2008?

I predict we'll be seeing a lot of leaves throughout the first half of the year, followed by an increase in sea water temperature and delayed sunsets.
The end is near, repent thy sins now.
As for man-made inventions, I'm expecting the scientists to get their act together and invent properly useful stuff, like light sabers, teleporters and superpowers.
If they don't hurry up with flying cars I'm going to set fire to the pope.
Yes, I'm ready for the flying cars, too.
I predict that 2008 is going to be changed into 200B by the end of the year. This because we don't want to stand out like total losers when aliens from The Alpha Mango Galaxy turn up and ask what year it is.
