IBM's predictions for innovation in the next 5 years!

IBM's 5 of 5
Stormsingersays...

1...2...3...4...5. 5 out of 5 that are bullshit, misleading, or just plain bad ideas.

Generating power from your bike and/or water pipes. BS and misleading.
Biometrics, already demonstrated to be -way- too easy to fool, and there is no way to revoke them. Won't even begin to address the misleading claims that "as always, you can opt in or out of the system."
Mind-reading - right. They can't even manage natural language accurately, after spending 25 years on commercial products. I'm sure brain scans are easier, though.
The gaps between information haves and have-nots will cease to exist. Anyone that believes that, raise your hand. Anyone?
Analytics, deciding for you what you want to see. Because living 100% of the time in your own personal echo chamber is such a great way to stay in touch with reality. The knowledge level of Faux News viewers provides a reasonable estimate of how well that works.

In short, total bullshit. But what else would one expect from IBM, a company that sells nothing else.

I think they got close on 4/5 there.
