Real knee slapper here.
That said, there is still a very large market for upscale cameras, and superzooms. You simply can't pack that kind of camera-ing in a small package, it violates the laws of optics. (That said, there might be some cool stuff coming eventually with thin film wave guid lensing).
Not a bad list. They got 2 right out of 7 guesses: 3D TV and the EU.
I disagree about the 3-D televisions. People are buying them and 3-D movies are being made. What will eventually change is the need to wear glasses. Eventually this technology will be incorporated into the TVs themselves.
The only one I agree with is the EU, and that is conditional. I think some sort of EU like union will exist but it will be smaller and less powerful.
“Digital cameras: With new smartphones sporting 8MP cameras, and resolutions increasing yearly, why wouldn’t digital cameras go extinct?”
I disagree with him on this one. The law of physics is never going to allow the same amount of light to be captured by your digital phone as the large lense on a real camera will. There will always be a market for cameras with a variety of lenses.
1) False even as stated.
2) Pixel count on the focal plane isn't everything. If the lens is crap, the image will be crap.
3) I wonder how much this guy knows about optics? Even with adaptive optics and deformable lenses, size matters. Aperture is king.
The stories of US demise are greatly exaggerated. Most of China’s money comes from the US. Without us buying their junk, who are they going to sell it to?
3D TV: I can believe this one, unless they go to the IMAX type of thing, with polarized goggles instead of those stupid click-shutter need-to-be-connected-via-USB glasses. Then they need to make movies and such that don't try to wow you with the whole "3D experience". Make the 3D more subtle and it will seem more realistic.
I could be wrong but so what, wanna fight about it?

Televisions are a passing fad. I’m betting big on radio. I think we’ll all be huddled around large radio cabinets soon.
And here.
Simply put, people will be looking toward China to dictate global growth in the future first, not the United States.
B.S.
The only reason such an oppressive slave-state grew in the last few decades is because of traitors transferring wealth and knowledge from free states like ours.
Innovation and development are always stifled in a slave state. There hasnt been a single Chinese invention under communism that even came close to the constant breakthroughs coming from the USA. People cant invent or think out of the box when they live in a Chinese factory (aka prison) their entire lives and do nothing but assembly line work.
They simply take our designs, processes, machines etc and make slaves execute it. Often times, even their best engineers cant figure out our machines. Several colleagues of mine were often sent to China for consulting work when their own engineers were stumped.
China, in its present political state, can only become temporarily first if the free world rots...
Digital cameras aren’t going away, there’s still a large chunk of the population not doing smartphones.
Energy drinks will get tweaked but they’ll still exist. In the end they’re just sugar and caffeine bombs.
Credit cards might change but they’ll still exist.
USPS is in the Constitution, it’s not going away either.
Some people just like to hear themselves talk. Being delusional helps them redefine words and concepts.
Cell phones already went extinct. Digital cameras, just got smaller and dumber, and they happen to have an embedded cell phone function.
Make them with decent zoom lenses and automatic stabilization and flash control, and the digital camera lives! with cell phone and gps attached.
Gheeez Louise!
