2020 Crystal Ball revisited
My Crystal ball is revd up and here are 20 predictions for 2020. I will return and see how I did then.

1. Drone technology is in full swing and cities will have to legislate the use because of drones use to commit crime, spy on people and create nuisances. A drone terror attack with a GPS bomb only does property damage.

Yes, FAA regulated and licensed it.


2. The fat pill becomes available and though it is expense, it works. Side effects lobby many to pull it.

No such luck.


3. The Anti Hillary movement gives the Republicans the Presidency.

Yes


4. Unemployment is at 6.8% and manufacturing does not rebound. Inflation is a low 2%.

Low inflation. Unemployment at record.


5. The movie theaters start to close at record pace. People pick and choose their TV and movies on line.

YES yes


6. Biofuels become viable for energy. All the plant waste is made into cheap fuel and sold locally. A gallon goes for $2.99. Oil is a low $60 a gallon.

Biofuels at pumps. Oil is correct. Gasoline is close.


7. North Korea regime changes hands. Iran goes to moderate leaders. Putin gives up in Russia so that they can rejoin the G8.

Haha not even close



8. The mini nuke bomb is successfully tested. The radiation residue is still a problem. The IED hits the USA as California group terrorizes the area.

No


9. A deadly flu outbreak kills 2000 before getting under control in the USA.

No


10. A Russian sub explodes and sinks in the Pacific Ocean.

Arctic ocean


11. A high frequency weapon capable of brain damage receives condemnation.

Yes Cuba and China


12. Pot is legal in 10 states. Heroin is the drug that kills 1200 people a year now.

Yes and heroin kills a ton more.


13. An anti technology movement takes place and spurs groups to create a commune. Their attacks on tech centers creates havoc and the internet slows to a crawl for certain sites.

no


14. Goldman Sach emails are hacked and sent out to embarrass many political figures.

no


15. Illinois votes on becoming a right to work state.

no


16. Paypal IPO reaches over a billion dollars. Amex counters with phone payments reaching 10 million transactions. The Dow breaks 23,000. The S&P 500 breaks 2000. Google is the most valuable company in 2020.

Close. Goog is top 5


17. The baseball cap wireless camera makes a debut sparking bans against the use in schools, ballparks, and churches.

No but google glasses


18. Human behavior modeling is used to screen applicants in the job pool. Lawsuits blame programmers for the faults.

Yes


19. Facial Recognition software can be used for the phone. Central places like train stations and public buildings use the technology to arrest several.

Yes


20. A religion forum featuring the major religions is an unexpected hit on TV.

no
