	2010 \| Cable companies will listen to you through your TV.
	The TV is comprised mainly of two sensory related technologies, specifically sound and sight. One is audio (sound) the other is video (sight). The microphone uses a membrane to detect sound vibrations from our voice and converts it to an electrical signal and is sent through the cable lines; then the speaker also uses a membrane to convert the electrical signal back to sound which we hear. Because of this, a microphone can be used as a speaker and a speaker can be used as a microphone. With the use of their addressable digital cable boxes, cable companies will pinpoint your TV and its speaker! It will be used as a marketing tool, by the cable company, to determine the "best programming for you" based on your positive/negative verbal outbursts and by politicians to best target their campaign money.

	2010 \| Hard Disc Drives exceed 10 Terabyte
	Looking at the last 20 years a permanent trend of doubling mass storage capacities in 3,5 inch drives every year can be seen. In 2010 a standard drive built in a consumer device will exceed 10 Terabytes, allowing users to store years of music and video. Assuming a "library" capacity at home there will be better ways of storing and retrieving wanted information, not as today in using a file system but more database like. Also your personal music and videos will be backed up through the internet in a distributed but encrypted manner, so that data loss is minimized.

	Borussia M´Gladbach will win the Championship in the year 2010 and also the next 3 Years. Why? They have young talents, good managmanent, a new stadium (paid already, the Name is not sold yet) and every year they got a positive balance. Furthermore the team has a lot of supporters. Borussia Dortmund also has a lot of supporters, but the next 6 Years will be the same as the last 6 years of Fortuna Düsseldorf.
