    Question Big in 08....?

    So, as a group of tech savvy lads & ladies, now's the time for your predictions for what's going to be big next year. Could be gadgets, new technologies, music, film, home or world politics, environmental, games, sport, you name it.

    Be the first to be able to say "I told you so".

    I reckon pocket pc phones are going to take off too, when people realise how much better than the iphone they are...

    IMO, it will overtake boxing eventually too...

    Re: Big in 08....?

    In terms of movies, I'm most looking forward to The Dark Knight (Batman Begins sequel), check out the viral campaign behind it: HEXUS.lifestyle - Headline :: The Dark Knight, a viral campaign and then some! : Page - 1/1

    It's an awesome campaign. Plenty of other movie higlights too, the 'big name' ones being Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, James Bond 22, The Incredible Hulk and the next installment of Star Trek.

    I thought 2007 was pretty poor in terms of movies, here's hoping 2008 turns out better.

    Cheese


































    well, i never was one to make risky bets

    honestly, one thing i personally think is going to become bigger is those robot vacuume cleaners, they have been falling in price quite dramatically.

    but, yes, i think anything that is supposed to be environmentally friendly is going to be rediculously popular, yes

    Fuel prices

    Wii

    New Nintendo DS

    GTA4

    Yeah 2007 hasn't been the best for movies. Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was a real kick in the pills. Oh well. Heres to 2008.
