Here's all the In the Future... predictions for about the past month or so. Many thanks to futurist Robert Hinkley for helping us to look ahead.
In the Future...
...tax men will be even more keen-eyed and vigilant.
...the arms race will quickly escalate to the next step: the pop-up blocker blocker blocker.
...pop-up, pop-under and interstitial web ads will get even more annoying and eat more of your bandwidth.
...we'll be okay with the fact that search engines are better at enforcing justice than they are at nurturing romance.
...all public lavatories will be certified 100% explosion-proof.
...we'll have to revisit all those spells, charms, and folk remedies involving bat wings (and other parts) to see if there's anything to them.
...performers in pay-per-view reality webcasts will be appropriately credited and compensated for their work.
Well, that does it for now. If you have a prediction you'd like to share, send it to speculis-at-speculist-dot-com. (Be sure to include the URL of a news story that corroborates your prognostication.)
And until next time, we'll see you in the future.
