We’ve got Ron Krause and Dave Podnar on board as we look back at 2021 and predict for 2022!
Awesome Things of the Year!

Highmounts for stylish wall mounting

Podnar and his iPhone Pro Max photography
Sorg on the evolution of hybrid live streaming events
We look back on how we did on the 2021 predictions
Our predictions for 2022
Ron Krause believes Xbox and Microsoft will have a big year
Gamepass and cloud gaming will grow even more
Chilla thinks streaming peripherals will dominate the tech industry (webcams, mics, etc)
Podnar thinks non-tesla Electric cars will become more common
Dudders thinks TikTok will continue to dominate: Compensating creators, more ads now, not just for young folks, algorithm is so good. Someone will get social audio correct (Not Clubhouse, Spaces). Continue to see a decrease in organic reach especially with FB. Everyone wants to make money.
Sorg sees more strides in virtual events
