It's our last episode of the year. We're getting geeky and nostalgic - checking our predictions from last year and talking tech and social media predictions for 2017, with the local nerds that use it on AwesomeCast 329!
\n\nSpeaking of self-driving cars, studies show traffic would be better with less traffic lights.
It's 2016 prediction recap time!
\n-- Doug was WRONG with his prediction about online superstardom.
\n-- Cynthia is recapping her accurate mom factor prediction about streaming programming.
\n-- AI advancement prediction by Chilla is ACCURATE! (You can thank Alexa, Sir.)
\n-- DJ Lunchbox's iPhone7 prediction - ACCURATE! (WTH headphone jacks?)

Predictions for 2017!
\n-- Doug predicts Google+ will finally die.
\n-- Sorg thinks Twitter will not be an independent company by the end of 2017. Will it go to Verizon?
\n-- Cynthia thinks VR video will not be a thing next year, as in it's not going anywhere, and we won't know why. She doesn't believe it will get past Cardboard and it'll be at least another 3 years before we see any solid movement with VR.
\n-- Rizz predicts the Nintendo Switch will revolutionize gaming
