42:  People Will Start Laughing at Us

On Topic Episode 42: People will start laughing at us
Recorded December 20, 2023

(Part 2 of 2)

It’s our third annual prediction show! And I predict we’ll do it again next year.

We first review our predictions from last year to see just how well we did. Some of us were dead on, others were hit & miss, and yet others seem to be deliberately vague just to claim accuracy regardless of outcome.

Then, we each prognosticate on what to expect in 2024. Much of it seems to be around AI and Teams. Sorry.

This discussion lasted almost an hour, so we split it into two episodes.


Alternate show titles:
  • Don’t touch my pixels
  • Don’t go anywhere near that V
  • I’ve been exposed to more VR
  • They’re strapping it to every product
  • Show us on the doll
  • Blown all over your campus
  • Justin Time
  • All unicorns and rainbows
  • We gotta keep up with our sh*t
