big-name SF writers of 1987 make predictions about life in 2012 (and other adventures in social networking)

What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today:
• Big-name SF writers of 1987 make predictions about life in 2012. No one foresaw the Web, but some of their other prognostications are close to what we ended up with. Not the ones about Lunar and Martian colonies, alas. 1987 Time Capsule Predictions

• So, that movie the #bizargo forbade us from talking about in public in case we were overheard? I just overheard bunch of guys on tube talking about it in detail. #unenforceable

• And what was first? [checks] Really? Olympics opening ceremony is second most-watched UK TV broadcast ever

share and enjoy
