A few hours from now, the ball will drop in Times Square. 2015 is over, and the good news is you can easily turn a handwritten ‘5’ into a ‘6’. Keep that in mind for the next few weeks. It’s time for a retrospective of everything that happened in 2015. That’s rather boring, though, and it’s usually better to put the most outrageous items in the lede. Therefore, it’s time for predictions of what will happen over the next 366 days. They are, in order:
- 2016 will be the year of the Linux desktop
- Self-driving cars will be demonstrated
- Graphene! Something to do with graphene!
- Your company will receive a resume with ‘Bitcoin’ listed as a skill
- Fusion power is only nine years away
With that said, a lot happened this year. Tiny Linux single board computers became incredibly cheap, Radio Shack died, and Arduino went crazy.
