Mix of hits and misses, as you'd expect. Scoring as of now #1 All data in cloud - basically true #2 Just Android & iPhone - sounds right #3 FB big success - No #4 3D displays popular - No #5 Better AI. Kind of. We have ChatGPT, but low-level insect intelligence is not common #6 Even bigger crash - No? Of course there was a big 2020 crash, but I think smaller than the Great Recession #7 Healthcare - Yes and no. Health care still broken, but Obamacare made things better. No big bio-tech treatments like he describes #8 Drug war ended? Still going strong #9 Energy problem solved - Hard to score. We do have cheap solar, but that's not enough to meet all needs. #10 Rise of political outsiders - Big hit, with rise of Trump.
