Finally, facebook and twitter - sureley it is only a matter of time before they disappear and the new thing takes over?

Aha, but that's the thing. The new thing is TV on demand, no more watching shit because you're outnumbered by people with shit taste!

Also, Augmented Reality will take off to one extent or another in the next 5 years.

And 3D printers!

T.V of the future is just a compilation of things you've done that have been recorded. Everyone will record themselves being lolrandom and put it up for the world to see.

I think the future is Bio, they are doing all sorts of things with genetic modification like making diesel, meat in a lab, super crops and all sorts of things we haven't imagined yet. Imagine a computer circuit using neurons and actual brain. The sky is the limit with this tech.
