Like so many others, we here at Nonsense have decided to compartmentalize January, and instead, start 2025 with February! So what better way to kick off our new-new-year than with some tech and business predictions for what we believe is likely over the next twelve-minus-one months?
There’s some AI (of course!), a sprinkling of regulations to come, screen rollups, probably something about holograms & wearables, and something-something about satelites. They may not all be locks, but we can’t miss on all of them though, can we?!
But before we tell you the future, we wanted to discuss the present. This episode we’ve got website scrubbing, Tesla sales plummeting, and DOGE employees working under the cover of digital darkness. Mr. Toad would be proud of the ride.
