i'd really like to see the return of, perhaps, physical buttons which can be pushed and provide tactile feedback, instead of pawing at smooth glass surfaces

physical buttons sounds like fabrication, injection molding, and embedded systems to me.

on april 20, 2023, elons roadster’s orbit will finally degrade and the car will plummet back to earth, crashing into a self driving fire truck that’s on its way to extract an amazon worker clone who is stuck in their robot proof cage because their genetically modified mega-bladder got too big.

ai hype is peaking right about now and will probably be passè by 2025. cloud computing will continue to expand until a black swan event causes massive financial damage and we start to go full circle back to on-prem hosting. facebook finally manages to piss off enough rich people that congress actually does something but the legislation is half-assed compared to gdpr. google/facebook continue to consolidate and decline in relevancy despite that. the hype around tech in general finally breaks where making a refrigerator ‘smart’ no longer moves units. intelligence agencies get even better / more invasive and shift their focus from terrorism to suppressing labor organization. global warming laughs at us
