Anyone remember the beginning of the year? One thing that happened then was Donald Trump said he would shut down parts of the internet if he won.

So you (if you use the parts he's going to shut down, and you probably do) have got, ooh, maybe a month or two of usage left. How long exactly depends if he does that before building the wall and banning the Muslims, or after. Looking at it from his point of view, you'd do the internet first.

Trump was one of the big predictions back then. Nobody got Pokemon Go though, did they? Now everyone in here is banging on about speech recognition. That's nailed on. It will turn work, home and leisure into an unbearable, full-on version of those cacophonous trading rooms with everyone shouting that you see in old movies about greedy chancers on Wall Street. It'll make you think you'd rather contract leprosy and work solo in a pigpen. Then then there will be a backlash.
