The Future Is Nigh

Right now the only thing that I agree with these predictions is that Microsoft will connect with the Kenict because the Xbox is a Microsoft product and the Kenict is made by the Xbox/Microsoft company. I find that this site that is containing this information is very onesided to the apple inc name and thing that include it. The tablet will never overcome the laptop for the simple fact of the laptop having and easier to use everything. also the Television is being trumped out in the people that have cable T.V but for those who have satellite T.V it will never be beaten by the computer's live streaming which is being shut down quite quickly. Apple will most likely not dominate the cellphone market for the simple fact of cost, the IPhone cost more then most other Smart phone that are on the market. Netflix is a streaming site but u need certain things for it to go through, trust me I have Netflix at home on my PS3 (which the Xbox cannot compete with).
For the media section I think that most of these predictions would come true for the simple fact of people have a need to keep up with current events and these predictions are saying that this need will be met and exceeded. As for my own predictions well the only I have are for technology, well Apple can't stay on top for the tablet forever and the blueray discs will start into an incline sooner then we think.

Tranparency? really?

I find that discussion of the Wikileaks is pointless for the governments to try and stop because the people should know what is going on in their country. This "transparency" that they talk about is a good point there should be some transparency but to much and there could be a major problem, there would be things that are unnecessarily leaked to people, thing that we definitely should not know. We have the right to know but not everything should be known by the public what the government does, like the attack by the helicopter pilots on "armed" men was something that we needed to know because that is disgraceful for an armed service man to do something like that without any provoking by the "opposition".
If I had information leaked to me and I was pressured by the government to not leak the information i would give the information out only if it was something that the public should know about and then wait for the repercussions of those actions.
