After looking at all the predictions made for technology in 2011, the two that I think are most likely to happen are the electronic wallets on the smart phone and the tablets/pads taking over the laptops. I can easily believe that electronic wallets could happen in 2011 because well, to be honest, I thought they already existed. With all the different things the smart phone can do, being able to act as a wallet couldn't be that hard, even to create in 2011. Also the people using iPads instead of laptops would not be unbelievable because in a lot of cases, most technology from the past gets replaced, so why not laptops in 2011? A lot of people instantly become crazy over the newest form of technology, so it's not if the laptop will be replaced, it's when it will be.
The two predictions I believe will not happen are the computer televisions, and Microsoft dominating over the gaming industry. Maybe someday a TV will also be a computer, but I can't see it happening in 2011. People don't really need a computer/television right now, seeing as most people have a TV and also have a computer, so why get something you already have?
As for Microsoft taking over gaming, I believe this will never happen, especially not in 2011. The leader in the gaming industry is Nintendo and it's been that way for a long time, in my opinion. Maybe Kinect did get a lot of attention when it was first released, but there's no way that will hold up through 2011, seeing as Nintendo created the 3DS and it's going to be released in 2011.
The two predictions made for the news media in 2011 that seem possible would be the WikiLeaks continuing and the new organizations upgrading their social media. Seeing as WikiLeaks was a world wide issue in 2010, I doubt it will completely disappear in 2011, and is more than likely going to increase because now people are very interested and concerned.
The new organizations getting smarter with social media is also likely to happen in 2011 because in a world that is constantly creating new technology, new organizations will need to keep up and also create their own new ideas live in the media lifestyle.
The two news media predictions in 2011 that don't seem realistic are the increase in media mergers and the rise of the interactive TV. The amount of media mergers increasing does not seem like it would happen in just 2011 because I don't see many companies willing to join and share glory. Many in a few years time and some companies are desperate, but not 2011. The interactive TV rising in 2011 will not happen. It's a waste of money for people who have a computer and a TV already. People will not spend their money to buy one and the few people would do waste their money will probably regret it.
My prediction for technology in 2011 is that 3D glasses will not be needed for very long. I believe that 3D technology will make it so you won't need the glasses to watch movies or play games. A prediction I would make for the media in 2011 is that technology will continue to advance and get more high tech. News will be updated quicker and there will be easier ways to view new stories.
