The new year always brings predictions. You know who gets them right?
BLUETOOTH
In his futuristic 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury anticipated Bluetooth, describing wireless earphones that allowed for "an electronic ocean of sound, of music and talk" to be
transferred through the air. Imagine how thrilled he would have been with a Bluetooth toaster! That was the idea behind Griffin's Connected Toaster, which warned you via smartphone when your toast was done. At $ 100, this baby cost a lot of bread, which may be why it was discontinued just two years after launch.
SMART WATCH
The Apple Watch lets you chat, play games, and watch videos on a device fastened to your wrist. Cool, huh? The Jetsons thought so… in 1962 —when Steve Jobs was still in cond grade!
WI-FI
Nikola Tesla called it! In 1909, the famous electrical engineer told the New York Times, "It will soon be possible to nd wireless messages all over the world so simply that any individual can carry and operate his own equipment." No doubt he was thinking of the Kérasta Hair Coach brush, which measured brushing speed and employed a micro-ph
one to listen to your hair, all to compute an overall hair-quality score nt to your smartphone. ( Alas, it too is gone.)
GPS
Writer Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odysy) saw a world in which no one got lost. In 1956，he wrote that satellites “could make possible a position-finding grid(铁网）whereby anyone could locate himlf by means of a couple of dials on an instrument about the size of a watch.” Clarke didn't mention that his system might also track another person, such as a criminal. Last year, the New York City police arrested a robber who was wearing a GPS ankle monitor — becau he was still on probation(缓刑)for a prior crime.

B
I never thought I'd hear mylf say it, but I've grown to enjoy lifting weights，and I've learned from doing it. I enjoy the n of strength and discipline that comes when the muscles are forced to resist. I've tried varying schedules — lifting every day, every other day, two days on and a day off. The every day approach was the least effective. I get the best strengthening results when I give mylf a break.我是值日生
互联网思维The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving yourlf a chance to reenergize, you
begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I ud to just give mylf Sundays off. Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything — and “everything” includes two magazines, building a hou in Hawaii, working on an ABC movie — and, oh yeah, my day job. Keeping it all straight was beginning to feel a little stressful. So I told mylf that just becau I have ten free minutes on my calendar doesn't mean I want to fill them. Breathing space has to become part of my daily routine.
So instead of having people lined up outside my office after the first show — I tape two a day —I do nothing for at least ten minutes. The change has worked wonders. I have more energy, and I'm in a better mood for the cond show and all the business that comes afterward.
Now that I have the summer off to sit under the trees reading, napping, writing, and thinking , I know for sure it’s time well spent. I’m refilling my tank so that by fall, when the new ason begins, I'll be fired up and ready for whatever is to come. Fully restored.
