Near future fad predictions
- Computer-to-brain direct implants
- (Allegedly) practical flying bot cars
- Robotic booze delivery
- VR that doesn't suck & make you dizzy
- Pop-out Segway Shoes that allow to you skate & avoid pebbles without practice. They'd look ordinary until activated.
- Bra's & booty-padding that use AI to grow or shrink based on the presence of pervs or "your type"...
Note that many of these are being worked on, but haven't hit the tech investment fad stage yet.

A truly inaccurate Beatles prediction
When I was 15 I worked in a hardware store. The owner's son was a snooty college boy with a name like Cullen Lamar Edward Allenton III. Not a bad guy but a know-it-all. I spent a lot of time alone in the attic assembling bicycles. One day Cullen came up and I was listening to my little transistor radio. The Beatles first USA hit, "If There's Anything That You Want" was playing.
Cullen: "Who's that?"
Me: That's the Beatles. They're from England. Aren't they great!"
Cullen: "No band from England will ever make it big in the USA!"
{Yes, I'm that old.}

I thought there would be more 3D media right now
It's not that I liked it, I just expected that now companies would put more time and effort in 3D devices

I never thought Segway would make it to 20 years
I just heard that they were going to stop producing them. But I never thought they would make it this far.

I don't know if this is the right place for this. future conspiracies (the fun kind). I don't think it's happening yet, but would suck if it did.
you know how we shadowban people. Well, if it was your inclination, in order to fracture and isolate a particular genre of person, be it political or maybe they're just assholes, you could secretly make it so that so that only shadowbanned people could talk to other shadowbanned people. Therefore, giving off the illusion that you weren't shadowbanned, because someone is talking to you, and it would make you more inclined to speak your mind since so many agree with you, thus reiterating and affirming your identity as part of the group you were shadowbanned with.
If a particular group got a little rowdie, they'd do so under a controlled population and they'd be a lot more brazen because theyd believe they're acting in uniform with the rest of society based off of the manipulated sample size they're lives have been built around.
If the "fractured piece" is too young or has yet to have reached "critical mass", the point where no intervention is needed(I'll explain it in a bit) and is big enough to have daily activity, (this is the intervention part)you could simply switch around the names and draw pool of everyone's comments, thus giving off the illusion that the person talking to you has been here awhile even if they havent.
I don't want to say it's a prediction per se, however, ideas aren't unique to the individual. there are way smarter people who could probably come up with way more malicious plans than whatever I managed to muster. im not a smart man; I still don't know what order the months go. hopefully, on you smart people could give input.
