Predictions for 2011

After reading the predictions for 2011, the two that I think are going to come true are "Victory for the mobile carriers. And another migraine for the cable guys." and "Realism in the mobile market. Apple will be seen to dominate the cell phone market." I believe that these two will come true because of the fact they are already happening. More people are using their cell phone for home phones because that way they don't have to pay two phone bills. Apple is already dominating the cell phone market because they are so far ahead of every other cell phone company and because people like the stuff that Apple is coming out with.

After reading the predictions for 2011, the two that I think that are not going to happen are "TVs become computers. The end of the TVs as we knew it begins in 2011" and "The laptop in decline. The table/pad computer will marginalize the laptop." I believe that these two are not going to happen because everyone likes their TVs as they are and mostly everyone has a computer, so making the TVs as part of a computer is kinda pointless. Laptops are not out of style yet. So many have laptops and they like them, they are not going to pay a lot of money for something that is like a laptop when they already have one.

After reading the predictions for 2011 for news and media, the two that I think are going happen are "Social Storytelling Becomes Reality" and "News Organizations Get Smarter With Social Media". I believe that these two are going to happen because everyone would like to be able to talk to others about whats happening in the news and the news organizations are getting smarter with the social media, everyone is realizing that everything is becoming more advanced and they need to keep up with it.

After reading the predictions for 2011 for news and media, the two that I think are not going to happen are "The Death of the ‘Foreign Correspondent’" and "The Rise of Interactive TV". I believe that these things are not going to happen because I doubt the war will ever be over, with the way its going now, so we will always need people over there trying to keep everything under control and make sure that no innocent people get hurt and not a lot of people are going to able to afford an interactive TV, plus no one is going to want to pay a lot of money for something that they already have, and if they have computers there is not much sense in getting on.

One prediction that I have for technology is that Apple will top any other company that trys to compete with them. I believe this because it has been like that for years now and I can't see it changing anytime soon.

One prediction that I have for media is that the news industry is going to become more advanced in technology. I believe this because they are staring to become more advanced now and its only going to grow.
