Recently we have been noticing online media outlets of certain stripes going viral with their semi promotional trend castings. Overwhelming our embedded tubes are glorified mirages of their slanted visions and thunderous sound bites from their decaying wisdom teeth. So, we decided to pull the wool over the crystal ball and tell it like it might be otherwise. For the techies contemplating and crunching mythical accounts of the future, read on and peep.

Recently we came across these screamers in the headlines about how popular cloud based services will simply continue their windfall ad infinitum.

Evernote CEO Phil Libin’s Top Three Tips For Building A Hundred Year Old Company

Dropbox:  (Founder Stories) Houston: “In 18 Months, You Are Going To See Little Dropbox Buttons Everywhere”

We have heard this story before. It seems like a concerted attempt in spot fixing the future as a linear magnification of the currently obvious.  History has repeatedly cautioned us about the unknown yet lurking presence of potential spoilers.  Far far away from those hogging the limelight today, some may have started revving their engines and will be racing ahead with the last laughs.  Kindly spare your 2 cents for that unforeseen genius who will blow the cloud away with the winds of change and bequeath a radical future.

Perhaps its one laden with information galaxies storing and emitting content waves or hanging them real time in ether waiting to be transmitted to your content receiver. Do we really have to bide for a Hollywood thriller on information management to concoct the subtle ?  Oh wait, there is a breathtaking trailer that is close enough. How about this sophisticated conception of the Future Vision 2019 by Microsoft ?

Now, that’s no small bang for the future Euro & Dollar (if they still exist) ! An absolute game changers delight, wont you say ?

Along these lines, our question to staid outlets extrapolating current trends – is it hard to conceive an entirely plausible alternative future where everybody is whispering vocal notes into the ears of SIRI’s  grandchildren ?  A future that might turn Evernote to Nevernote.  A bright future without silly old fashioned carpal tunnel inducing buttons everywhere!  Future grapevines may welcome Eavesdrop and say bye bye to Dropbox.

Rest assured, there will be clouds that hang over the Dropboxes and Evernotes of today. And regarding whatever is said of the future, Remember Nothing. Zukmo Everything!
