2011 Technology Predictions [+Rep!]

Eh? He's not trolling at all. He tends to make a lot sense. If anything he's blunt and to the point, and quite factual. When people are ranting and raving over trivial matters, he comes in and sets the record straight with witty one liners which shuts up the ignorant and educates the one with more than a handful of braincells. He doesn't post ludicrously lengthy replies and pretty much tells the victim that they're stupid and know nothing.

" a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

Sounds like a troll to me.

The iPhone might catch up in terms of spec.. I joke I joke, apple will never make the iPhone decent.
Apple could enter the games market?
More things will be in "the cloud"
Tablets will loose popularity
Google may actually finish a product
More "connected" technology. Such as being able to control a kitchen appliance via your mobile phone (kk, maybe a few more years?)

a lot of these predictions ive seen are pretty obvious ones (i.e. new updated apple products), but as for technology/the internet in general;

-the debate on net neutrality is going to hit the roof, i unfortunately expect new laws to be passed that let companies control the internet.
-3D TVs i'm predicting will actually die out, at least temporarily. in all honestly i think the 3d televisions are just absurd and unnecessary, ive seen one and it mostly just makes me sick i cant watch it for more than 10 minutes. i dont think there's nearly enough interest in 3D for it to become very popular, i hear people complaining that there's too many 3D movies all the time, people dont want 3D in their homes.
- more companies will be jumping on the smartphone bandwagon, im guessing there will be a new major operating system pretty soon.

Tablets will loose popularity

fat chance. tablets are just the beginning of the evolution of the personal computer. there may not be many people with it now, but over time the specs on it will become finer and finer and they'll eventually replace laptops. eventually (id say within the next 10 years), we're just going to have full-on computers that we can fold up and put in our pockets. we already have the technology to do this, its just not yet marketable.

Google may actually finish a product

right now they're busy on their self-driving car.
