True to form, 2024 was an unpredictable year on many levels. As it comes to an end, it’s time to make some predictions about 2025. Here we go:
1. Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads all fail to get traction, and X continues to stand alone.
2. Bucking the previous consolidation of AI efforts within
large-scale and largely white-owned tech firms, the field democratizes
considerably as lower barriers to entry create an innovative environment into
which many diverse voices gain popularity.
3. Despite (or perhaps because of) a broad spectrum of opposition to incoming
President Trump, the Democratic Party splinters, as far-left and moderate-middle are unable to reconcile themselves as being in the same group.
4. For the first time ever, a major US professional sports team
names a female head coach.
5. Once left for dead and featuring noticeably homogenous casts, soap operas make a spirited comeback, updated for modern sensibilities with more multi-ethnicity in cast and content.
