\nThe world will realize we already have an existing infrastructure and start using traditional barcodes.<\/p>\n
\nI’m talking mobile GPS + Camera + Internet technology. It will be baked into our mobile devices, bypassing the need to install multiple apps or plug-ins. (Remember, by predictions I really mean wishes.)<\/p>\n
\nCome on? Do you actually even doubt this? How can they survive with all the competitors? More than likely they will be acquired for cheap\u2026 by MySpace.<\/p>\n
\nBut fail.<\/p>\n

Oh, also the same arguments about blogs.<\/p>\n
\nSome politician or celebrity will check into a strip club or brothel\u2026 and earn an ‘idiot’ badge.<\/p>\n
\nBut no one will care because the iPhone 5 will come out. Oh my gosh, did Apple release it in white too?! My precious\u2026 my precious!!<\/p>\n

\nHe will change it back to Han shooting first, but instead of Gritto it will be Jar Jar. Nerds have wishes too.<\/p>\n
