More security vulnerabilities will appear in the software of Adobe and Apple than in Microsoft’s, more attacks on the Internet’s infrastructure will occur, and cybersecurity events will stoke international tensions. Those are a few of the predictions for 2017 that security experts have made. Users of Apple desktops and laptops for years have been relatively insulated from the kinds of malicious activity that has besieged those in the Windows world, but that’s going to change next year, warned Trend Micro.
I always see predictions much like resolutions. You make them and yet they never seem to work out.
Technology is desperate for the next great thing, and it isn't happening. Curved screens, VR headset, expensive premium notebooks all seem to lack one thing. Consumers who really want them or can afford them. Technology suffers from a country lacking in disposable income in any great mass of consumers. Sure the 1% is still making money, but that's not going to spur a lot of technology sales. We have become a society that spends way more on technology than ever but lack the ability to spread that limited income out on too much. We have already seen a spike in consumer credit debt and defaults. As one market guru put it. The PC market only expanded in the low end PC range and TV's are not doing so hot selling those expensive curved screens. Consumers have become more frugal by necessity and my only prediction is that technology hits a brick wall because consumers are running out of cash.
