I took the weekend off, making the drive from humdrum Denver through depressing Leadville to glorious Aspen, via the spectacular Independence Pass. I highly recommend Aspen in the off-season, when it's only outrageously (as opposed to inconceivably) expensive. Anyway, my little weekend junket is the reason, for the first time in Speculist history, we're doing a Future Round-up on Monday rather than the preceding Saturday.
Here's the full collection of last week's In the Future... predictions. Hat tips to FastForward Posse members Robert Hinkley and Chris Hall for helping us to look ahead.
In the Future...
...we'll have microwave-friendly tanks and dishwasher-safe aricraft carriers.
...hired-gun Ninja robots will defend Asian Tech Fairs from similar attacks.
... astronomers will assist FBI agents with fingerprinting.
... we'll have a clearer idea of what impact, if any, doughnuts have on them.
......scientists will be delighted by pink lizards, stripy newts and tartan toads.
...parents may have to come to terms with the related benefits of body piercing, spandex, tattoos, and big hair.
...we'll give our toys better toys to play with.
That does it for last week. Until next time, we'll see you in the future.
UPDATE: While it looks like Dave Cullen's weekend was distinctly different from mine, we're both basking in a post-Aspen glow.
