Nobody can make predictions so it's also hard to see where the future is going.

'People watching a mobile device all the time!?' Look at we are now...

I wouldn't be surprised when we will be programming with a VR set so you can put almost unlimited lines of code on your retina.

People make predictions all the time, many of them pretty good. Did a significant number of people think Color was going to be a smashing success?

I'll happily predict that the Pono is going to fail pretty thoroughly, because I simply don't believe many people are going to spend tons of money on clunky hardware that plays very expensive music at dubiously appreciable improvements in quality when they already carry a phone that has unfettered access to way more music at lower prices at quality they already think is fine.

Likewise, if anyone wants to take my $100 on a bet that in 2019, we won't be strapping a scuba mask onto our face to use Facebook, it's available.


What's the point of putting unlimited lines of code on your retina, when your ability to comprehend them does not change a bit?
