Five bucks says Apple is three versions away from developing a Siri you can actually become BFFs with. Considering how much time you spend checking your phone, it's a natural progression.  

Imagine a world where everyone looks like they're talking to themselves on some next-level Bluetooth rather than paying attention to the people around them. Oh, wait...

'90s nostalgia is all the rage these days, and Jonze is predicting that the '70s will be next. As long as bell-bottom pants don't catch on again, all will be good.

Speaking of nostalgia, all that e-mailing will create a need for more tangible sincerity and intimacy in our lives. Hence, BeautifulHandwrittenLetters.com, where writers like Theodore will dictate sweet notes that'll then be transcribed and printed on paper as if they were penned by your own hand.

Aside from Amy Adams' character, Theodore Twombly's closest confidante is a holographic little blue creature (voiced by Spike Jonze) generated by a next-generation gaming console that projects the game into thin air (a la hologram Tupac), rather than from a screen. As for controllers? Screw them. Kinect-like controls are everything.

In a scene where Phoenix's Theodore visits his BFF Amy (Amy Adams), he arrives at her place with a smoothie in a paper container, which comes off as the norm. Hey, it's not entirely implausible that America could actually embrace the "go green" movement.

About 90% of the things you own are made in China, so its booming economy is no secret. As the country strengthens throughout the year, its influence as a global power will only spread. Which makes sense of Jonze's vision of L.A. as a mix of present-day Los Angeles and present-day Beijing (shot on location in both cities).
