NeatoShop Contest: Predict Life in the Year 2013 - Neatorama

It is time, dear readers, to look into the future. Gaze into your crystal balls. Summon your paranomal mental powers to look beyond the thin veil between today and tomorrow.

Behold! This is what I see for the year 2013:

In order to outdo herself, Lady Gaga will appear at the Grammys wearing a dress made out of live feral cats.
A cheap, easy method of 3D printing cheesecake will appear on the market, leading to a 50% increase in obesity in the United States.
Smell-o-vision will be a prolific smartphone app. When someone calls or texts you, rather than hearing an assigned ringtone, you'll smell a particular odor.

What do you see, Neatoramanauts?

This is a contest. Make a prediction about life, society, culture or technology in the year 2013. Leave one prediction per comment, though you may make as many predictions as you like in separate comments.

Take a look around the NeatoShop and select one item there priced under $20. Note your selection with your prediction. Remember to leave your prize selection with your prediction or you forfeit the prize.

The funniest three predictions win. I will announce the winners on Monday. Now go forth, o seers!

After "finishing" "The Hobbit", Peter Jackson will then take on the 12-volume History of Middle-earth, and in the process, expand it to encompass 30 movies, one to be released each year starting in 2013. Each 3-hour film will be simultaneously released in 3D, 2D, and Hobbit-vision.

Facebook really will begin charging fees for their service unless you copy and post a special message on to your profile which will make your icon turn blue. For the first time ever, everyone including aunt Martha believes that this is a hoax, so no one posts the message. Subsequently everyone's account is deleted for nonpayment and Facebook goes bankrupt six months later.

'2013' - Hidden inside the Recording Department of the secretive Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skilfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party.
Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him thru the all-seeing telescreen and the watchful eye of Big Brother, the symbolic head of the party.
In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith realises he is in a time warp, connecting him between 1949, 1984 and 2013, discovering that some truths persist as they are too hard to swallow, yet soon discovers the true price of freedom is wikileaks.
