  • Cynthia upgraded her work from home Zoom calls with a 100 foot CAT-5 cable and gives a science shout out to the speedy Covid-19 Vaccine
  • Sorg has been impressed with streaming video games from Google Stadia, Nvideo Geforce Now and Microsoft XCloud.
  • We look back on our predictions FOR 2020
  • We predict 2021!
  • Cynthia thinks Facebook will doubledown on everything -- no regrets
  • Rob sees a future of electric car modification and retrofits will become more mainstream
  • Katie predicts a new crop of specialized social media platforms will pop up forcing marketing folks to constantly create new accounts on each of these platforms.
  • Chilla sees streaming knowledge and virtual collaboration will become key skill expectations for the office workforce as we never return above 50% back to work. Side bet: cyber warfare will become headline news multiple times due to reliance on cloud and tech
