There are never-ending arguments raging in our offices regarding the potential future in the field of technology.  One of us might state that Apple is on it’s way out, or that cars will be auto-piloted in a few years.  This immediately triggers the other colleagues to retort in the strongest possible manner.

To settle these arguments once and for all we got the idea to publish our predictions for the technological future in a blog post, allowing you to comment and perhaps ultimately decide which version is the most plausible.

	Nathan’s predictions	Charles’ predictions	Andreas’ predictions
	Battery powered electric cars competing with regular cars with similar price/performance. (Con/Lib Transport policy will implement national charging network, Jet engine for Electric cars) Microsoft buys Yahoo outright after share price slump Apple lose market shares in mobile market to Google who will have bought HTC and terminated their Windows Mobile development	Price and performance of battery powered electric cars will be similar to regular cars Governments will legislate to limit performance of petrol cars.	Fuel cell electric cars competing with regular cars with similar price/performance Microsoft Bing disappears as a search engine Satellite phone functionality integrated into most mobile phones Electronic glasses available for mobile phones and netbooks which will project a 3D virtual screen
	Fuel cell electric cars competing with regular cars with similar price/performance Self-modifying line of business applications that adapt to usage in real-time	Holographic television becomes available There will be another World War probably over oil and gas resources	Petrol stations no longer allowed to sell petrol or diesel fuels Battery powered electric cars cease to exist Auto-piloted cars available NASA’s space program terminated permanently Batteries replaced by nano-engines
	Organic chips replace silicon computing chips “Table-top” fusion personal power plants available	Depends who wins!	Illegal to drive cars manually without a (very expensive) professional licence Hot fusion replace fission nuclear plants Quantum/light computer chips appears on the market

So there you have it.  The future according to Island Web Works.  Which version do you think is most likely to be correct?  Or perhaps you have your own predictions?  Let us know!
