Future predictions

Future predictions about 2020 were wrong. There are no lunar liners for us. Yeah, people thought we would be living on our moon. Do remember the old science fiction movies. Like there were spaceships full of dials and gauges. Well, those old films were long on fiction, and short on science.

Windows 10

Windows 10 can replace win seven. Hey, support is going away. Sadly, we might not be able to upgrade due to a lack of memory. Also, it might require... like a vastly more powerful processor. Yeah, new apps wanna consume our resources. That should never ever surprise us.

Rustbelt recovery

Rustbelt recovery is on. Ah yes, our regions bank could become a new hub for electric cars. Funny, who could have seen this one coming... like a mile away even. Still, electric vehicles account for less than one percent of all the vehicles on our expressways. Yeah, there are so many reasons. Sadly, the limited range is one.

crows

Let us hear it for crows. They are one of the most intelligent animals ever. Well, they can often perch on a scare crow. That is funny in some ways. Maybe, they are not bird brains after all, but who can say? The universe in so awesome.

scary

Artificial intelligence is cool, but it is also quite scary. People are afraid that someday robots might take over. Also, they do think that our current jobs might go away. Hey, we are seeing a lot of brand new technological breakthroughs now. Expect the future to be exciting and then some more. Do hope that robots cannot replace people any time soon. That would be a CAT- astrope!

pope

Like wow, just look at the pope. He has an important message. It is about the current ongoing war of light versus darkness in this cold world of ours. Certainly, we might hope that things can improve. Yeah, we do want to live in a much better place, but let us humbly face facts as ours is one ominous universe.

Technology

Technology races on. It is hard to keep up. Let me tell you... that is a lot going on. Just think about the current AI race. Expect artificial intelligence to become a lot more important in our coming years. Well, we might have to pick up our pace. Yeah, that is what we see.

hall mark

OK, so hallmark recalls candles ahead of the holiday season. This certainly is a bit of um sour news. I do not know what their new excuse is. Frankly, the future does not look that great for this company. Oh yes, it is rather dim or grim.

5G

Walmart will put 5G in stores - wow. That is great news. Actually, there is a large Walmart superstore near me. Do hope they put in the antenna for 5G as that is super expensive. Time will tell as we see.

no country for old programmers

Avoiding a mid-life crisis. It is not so easy. Basically, there is no country for old programmers. I was told by one boss that he would never hire a coder over 30 as they were too old and he only wanted people that were young. Well, it seems we got off on the wrong foot as he was 26 at the time and I did not find his comment amusing. Sadly, not that much has changed for us.

Emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is important for photographers as well as the average person.  Well, that is what we see. Actually, there are those that wonder if EQ is more important than IQ, but who can say.

holiday season

Ah yes, the happy holiday season is upon us. Well, there certainly is more CHEER in our air. Not sure on exactly what that is. Decorations that adorn a lot of houses that are near me. Yeah, we do like to see the lights at night, but that may change soon. It seems that atheists claim that Christmas decorations are offensive and we need to remove em.

Disney minus

Here are some Disney minus movies. Yeah, it is a great time to be alive for most of us. Still, streaming is expensive. Also, it eats up the megabyte on our phone in a zap. Do hope 5G comes soon.

China

China has arrested more journalists than any other country - wow. What can we say about being a journo? This is not a great year. Jobs are few and bills are many. Also, you can get thrown into prison. Do look for another career.

US jobs

US jobs have shrunk since our great recession. Sadly, we are in an economic crisis. Do hope that it does not turn out to become a massive recession. Yeah, we certainly do not need another one.

toys

Parents are out there getting toys for kids now. Well, the local toys r us is gone. Yeah, it is our new era. Economists blame the internet and amazon. Hey, we do not agree. It is that customers do not have enough money. They are trying to save every penny.

sears

I can tell you something about sears. They are a symbol of a retail meltdown and our economic crisis.  Sadly, a lot of great people lost their jobs as we experience a mini-recession. Well, in the retail arena anyway. Yeah, this has certainly been a most challenging year. Maybe, things can improve. Do hope that is our case.

a pony

I sometimes wonder what our world would be like if a pony rode people instead of um people riding some ponies. Do hope that you can think about such incredible things every once.

promoters

Hey, promoters are all over. Social media communities can indeed really help your company. After all, we are on the internet 24/7 now. Oh yes, it is funny how the more things change on us... the more they remain same.

camera

Getting a camera is so max. Yeah, taking a picture is great and they do look a lot better than those we obtain from the so-called smartphone, but that is a saga to cover next year. Here is looking at you - HDRKID. All the best to you.

supreme court

Well, the supreme court is getting a boat load of new cases. It should be an interesting next few years. Certainly, we do feel that things are rapidly changing on us. Really want them to get better, but we could be in a world that is even worse.

um sharing economy

Folks, the so-called um sharing economy is scary. Bad things can occur. Large companies say that these occurrences are rare. Actually, we believe that they are so common. Still, your life does not need to turn into a horror movie. Please remember to keep both of your eyes open.

emoji

I like using an emoji. Well, they are now important in court cases. Free speech is going away. It is turning into a crime. This is an eerie universe we are in. Do hope that our area... like can improve. Just wish that it is not too late for us. Sadly, we see that there are more restrictions and regulations every year. Yeah, it breaks our hearts my man. 💔

Baby Yoda

Baby Yoda is trending now. Funny, I do not usually associate Disney and star wars. Expect some more um TOYS soon. Yeah, they do need money. Like over at the house of mouse.

Chrome books

Chrome books are awesome. Well, that is my opinion. Still, we need to find a machine that can grow with us. Also, it should be easy... like to install more memory.
