True story: inspired by some dude on the internet, I thought I'd try my hand at "predictions". I made a post with my technology predictions for the next 10 or 15 years (not 50, I'm not THAT naive).

I don't have a personal website, so I placed that post on Google+, to have it for future reference. Boy, do I suck at predictions.

What were they?
Somehow, one involved Google+ staying alive.
Of course I would forget that.. that's kinda' the point of storing it somewhere where I could go back to it, many years later (also I wanted somewhere where it was stored with a verifiable timestamp so that I could share it X years later and make it obvious that it's not something I made up on the spot, but something that I truly predicted years ago)

(I'm pretty sure one of them was around the idea that "data science will be the new 'computer science' in terms of job attractivity", but I honestly forgot the others. There were something like "20 things" or anyway a fixed number of predictions, some that I felt were bolder and some that were "safe bets").
