Tech Punditry In 2005

Wired has an article looking back at some of the most obvious, some of the most topical, and some of the least accurate predictions for 2005. From the article: "Wireless will continue to replace land line at a faster pace: Internet telephony pundit Jeff Pulver's prediction seems somewhat obvious, but nonetheless accurate. In 2005, personal calling on wireless phones in the United States exceeded that on residential land lines, even though 35 percent of the U.S. population doesn't have wireless, according to the Yankee Group."

started 2005 with 2 cellphones from cingular, ended the year with 2 cellphones from virgin mobile. we just don't use cellphones enough to justify the expense since we are surrounded by landlines.
