Last year I made predictions… I’m preparing my predictions for this year. Before I worked on my own I decided to spend time looking at any number of similar, tech-centric, prediction articles for 2017. Lots of discussion of VR/AR, robots, and voice systems.

Here, in no particular order are ones I found, though will say I liked Recode’s, MobiHealthNews’, Computer World’s, and John Battelle’s the most.

What are your predictions for 2017? Put your ideas in the response section below, and if there are other lists to add here let me know.

Happy 2017…
