phone, but only 4.2 billion own a toothbrush. (Source: Mobile Marketing

 In some countries, there are more mobile subscriptions than there are
people. (Source: Mobile Marketing Association) (How can this be? It’s
because some people own more than one mobile phone.)

next 10 years?

18. Good News 
• Better Technologies that will make
our life much easier

a more efficient way to do things.

19. Bad News 
• The more advanced society becomes technologically, the
more people begin to depend on computers and other
forms of technology for everyday existence.
• Humans will live in isolation and interact more through
these new technologies rather than spending time with
other Real Humans
• New Governments regulations will appear to encourage
people to use these technologies to avoid direct
interaction to reduce crime rate, spread of disease, etc.
