My prediction

I know you guys won't care but I did predict stuff like tablets and OnLive (predicted this in my teens and 40 years old now, though I know there are people before me). When I predicted OnLive, it was more into the future than "now". In the future, the internet should be fast enough to stream live video with minimum latency from a videogame controller or mouse/keyboard or whatever you want to use. In the future, there should be super computers all over the planet that can do things a desktop cannot do and stream it to you. People will build these supercomputers and people will pay for these streaming services. Why spend millions of dollars for something when someone else can and you pay a smaller amount per month to render these services? Not to mention that companies like Sony has the right idea. Make a smartphone with a touch screen AND slide out game controller. It's absolute genius. Sony just doesn't have the tech to make it good enough to conquer the world, yet. As for touch screen operating systems, Apple showed that if you make it pretty, people will love it. But people are getting bored with icons and tiles. We're going to need something a lot more fancier and a lot more innovative. I'm sure all these corporations already know this. They are just milking as much money as they can. Why put out the "best" when you can make millions (billions?) off something less? Sometimes I wonder if Hollywood or other movie industries from other countries already showed the world a better OS as in the GUI? Anyways, I love the competition and I "know" it can only lead to better things. Right now I am leading towards Windows 8 simply because of the increase in FPS in videogames. But at the same time, the metro apps load slow. But as a gamer, I probably wouldn't use the metro apps that much. BTW, what do you call metro apps if we can't use the word "metro" anymore? lol...
