10 years from now
 

Select a facet of your life...ie entertainment media, sports, transportation, economy, global politics, local politics, shopping, food, etc. What do you think it will be like? Come back here in 10 years and see if you were right.

I don't know where I'll be next week, 10 years is a little to far. My prediction is prices will rise, there will be a war, probably a demicure of aids and half the really cool tech we get promised will not appear.

not in general, jag. pick ONE thing about your life, and look ahead 10 years at what it will likely be. You have been contemplating and planning a career. Where do you think it will take you in 10 years? Confine yourself to that aspect, and get into detail.

Jinx and I, will be living in the house you're still paying for. :haha:

Sorry Jinx, I couldn't resist.
I'm a baaaaaaaad boy. :D

Ai.........no can do. I can think of various ideals but there is nothing I would dare even think of saying was more than likely. If I did i'd be afraid of jinxing it anyway. I've already worked in 3 distinct industries, I'm leading 2 distinctly seperate major projects and involved in a few others, it's waaay to hard to say what'll work and what won't.

Well, all I can say is that you'd better start stockpiling the viagra now.

You want the jinx?...


YOU WANT THE JINX?!...


YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE JINX!!!

Right now I am attempting to get a local satirical news monthly off the ground. Its called "THE MANITOU MULE." Ten years from now, THE MULE will be the top leading independent magazine in the Western states. I will have won a Pulitzer for my writing. Subscribe now, while prices are still low!

In 10 years I'll be elected as a congressional representative

In eleven years, there will be a tragic asassination attempt... :D

Only tragic if it succeeds

10 years from now I hope to finally earn what I made in 2003.

10 years from now I hope we're not all radiation laced particles in the atmosphere.

10 years from now I hope to be far along enough in "gotta work on this stuff this year) to be able to have a small zoo out back.

10 years from now I want to have a neighborhood reputation among the outside crowd as "ooo, stay away from the cranky guys house!"

10 years from now I WILL be celebrating my 26'th anniversary with the love of my life...16 of them married bliss.

10 years from now 5 of my 6 pets will be long gone and I will have 5 youngsters and 1 old pissed off cat.

10 years from now I will have 10% of the remaining 25% of my shit togethor, and will be making annually 1/4 of the stupidass mistakes I currently average.

10 years from now I will be pushing 50 and reminiscing (wrongly) how my 30's were the best years of my life.

10 years from now, I will still be posting 100's anniversary posts, while LJ will singlehandedly rule skynet making over 1000 googles an hour, yet still won't give me a job. You will still be able to hear Jinx in the background "Get OFF the fucking cellar NOW!!"

10 years from now UT will be threatining to shut this place down once and for all because we're just a bunch of big damn crybabiies...and this time I mean it.

10 years from now most of us while watching the SuperBowl halftime show will remark to the one next to us "I knew that chick on the cellar years ago, no shit"

10 years from now all the fields surrounding me will be concrete and stinking humanity (You'll see me on the news, in my old house out front on the porch with my shotgun, cops will have lasers, but I'll have wisdom...and an attitude)

10 years from now my ass will be smaller and smooth like a baby's thanks to a revolutionary breakthrough by the hair club for men scientists. I will then revert back to my old ways since I saved all those 70's clothes, music and hair accesories.

And it will be 10 years 'til I finish this post if I don't now because baby the ideas are flying fast and wild.

:blush:
Anyway...
In 10 years I'll be the mom of teenagers. :worried:
I'll also be working again. Wonder what I'll be....
I don't think we'll be in this house still (sorry Bruce), but almost definitely this same area.
Beyond that I have no idea.

from Guam.

It's OK Jinx, after all, I CAN'T HANDLE THE JINX!!!:)

Producing records for major artists, instead of just playing on them and touring on them. I'd love to be able to sleep in my own bed at nights, and still have a vibrant career.

Also, I love the idea of seeing a creative project through from end to end with a real budget, fully pro on all fronts.

If it fails, we mean.

Computers of 2014
 

In 2014, the Home PC will be obsolete. Everyone will have a tablet PC or two. They will be able to watch tv on them, or "downrent" a movie and watch it.

They'll be networked by wireless technology that we have not yet conceived of. We will also carry with us mini tablets that combine the features of a pc, a cell phone, a gps unit, all of our personal credit cards, mac cards, drivers licenses, car insurance. It will be a camera, a voice recorder, an mp9 player. The Internet will be so vast and complete, and the wireless technology so fast that there will no longer be a need for a phone service. People will begin to cancel their home telephones altogether. The call you place to your Sister in Witchita will hop from local wirelss hub to hub to hub until it gets to the right receiver in her hand nanoseconds later. The miles of t1 lines and undersea phone cables will post their first declines in usage. This infrastructure will soon go the way of the typewriter. All of the information in the world will literally be at your fingertips 24-7.

I'd love to think that we'll see a massive change in the way communications infrastructure works with a move towards massively distributed P2P nets for most things and far, far more two-way media as the barriers for publishing drop further and further.

I'd also really, really like to see a fucking mesh standard get off the ground. I want every device I carry to talk to each other and provide services to each other. My phone should be able to tell my ipod to route the call into my earphones, my ipod should be able to buy songs over the net connection on my phone, my pda should be able to get my email of it (at least that bit exists) and my PDA and phone should be able to use my Ipod for storage. All in 1 stuff always without fail bites ass because it makes comprimises on everything.

Oh an I predict we'll be able to get in-glasses HUDs, we've already got them, it's just a matter of input, size and power now. Size wise it's only the controller unit that's a problem.

I'm leaning toward telephone revolution.

I think a videophone will be the next big thing. In ten years, we'll all have a booth in our homes that will allow us to see our caller in real time, allow us to block our images from going out if we don't wish to be seen right then (bad hair day etc) or are using a cordless, this can also allow us to dial into a database and watch a movie chosen from a menu or with a special code. The phone sex industry is shaken to it's foundations as the customers demand to talk to girls like the ones in the ads, and not some ugly lesbian with her hair in curlers, wearing sweats instead of the promised miniskirt, and halter top.

That's MY prediction anyhow.

I don't see the videophone thing taking off, it doesn't have the convenience of the phone and it brings a host of problems. 3G has not been a wonderful success in most places and I feel this is the reason. The advantage of an audio-only feed is you can still do other things, video requires your full attention. You will however seen more augs of sorts, people tapped into more devices all of the time. Hell I already know guys that work with in-glasses vid screens, audio feed in one ear and mobile bluetooth piece in the other.

In 10 years I will start being a problem to my son...

10 years ago that is.

JOKING! JOKING! IT IS ONLY A JOKE!

SMILIES TO INDICATE JOKE:

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

You guys do realize you can walk into Best Buy today and buy a video phone right?

But we won't have an audience.

That's why they sell them in pairs. C'mon toad, buy Mom one!

Ahh, there's nothing like vibranting in your own bed.:joylove:

In 10 years after I'm elected as a congressional representative from the state of California by an overwhelmingly large margin, I'll have one of my aids get on here to laugh at those of you who said I couldn't do it. And 10 years later I'll be planning my bid for the oval office.

In the next ten years I want to. a)move to America; b) Get a gunlicence; c) take extensive firearms training until I can do it in my sleep.

That considered I'm starting to think that maybe Radar is just a really, really dedicated troll after all.

Silly bunny, in America, you don't need a license. It is a constitutionally guaranteed right.
You only need a licence if you wish to carry a *concealed* weapon or a machine gun.
Oh, and a driver's license if you want to take your tank to the supermarket.:)

Goddamn you're slow!

or used to be serious and is now trying to back out of it by being droll.

It would need to be conceled in order to get past RADAR'S goons.....

It would need to be conceled in order to get past RADAR'S goons.....

I beleve they are called "Brown shirts "

Actually, Radar's stance on weapons (IIRC) is that we can have as many of as many kinds as we want with no licensing.

In his world, we'll need 'em. He says he'll go down fighting...so will I. :rattat:

You know, if he did get elected I think it'd be better just to nuke the whole state, just to be safe and to stop the bad genes spreading. Just assisted evolution really.

I find it interesting that he seems more interested in federal politics than state politics. California is the closest thing we have to a socialist state in the US...that's the sort of thing that makes a libertarian's blood boil.

Heh, for the little while I thought he was Tonys invention... someone embodying all the worst characteristics of the libertarian movement. Sorry Tony! It was only a thought brother.

In 10 years I will be President of the United States of Europe... or Chief of European Defense or Chief of European Intelligence Services... (yeah I believe in Europe, silly utopist I am)

Amen to that *hands Pi a large joint to celebrate*:joint:
