According to foreign media reports, futurists boldly predict that Google, the world's largest search engine, will disappear in 2049, and the globally popular blog service will be abandoned by people in 2022.
As 2007 draws to a close, experts are making predictions about the future. Futurists believe that in 2008 there will be many new inventions, including fashion that changes smell according to mood, bacon-flavored chocolate, amphibious cars, and peer-to-peer online lending, among others.
In addition, due to credit tightening caused by the subprime crisis, banks around the world will impose stricter loan requirements. Therefore, the Canadian organization Trend Hunter estimates that a new financial market will emerge globally, where borrowers and lenders can agree on satisfactory interest rates online without going through banks.
While various sectors are predicting what new inventions will come out in 2008, Richard Watson, author of "The Next 50 Years," has released a "Extinction Timeline," boldly predicting that blogging behavior will become extinct by 2022, gasoline-powered cars will completely disappear by 2036, glaciers will vanish entirely by 2037, and the global search giant Google will exit the world stage in 2049.
