Real 2020 Vision

Josh Silver has a brilliant plan, "to offer glasses to a billion of the world's poorest people by 2020". That's real 2020 vision.

By 2020 opticians may have invented interactive glasses that can gague your vision and alter the lens strength automatically. Maybe we'll have bio-glasses made out of out own stem cells...

Most Googled 2008


Who will be the most Googled in 2020?
Any predictions?

Last year "Who is God?" was the most popular question, this year it's "Who is Obama?"
Obviously the Googlers think Obama is just as celestial as the Big Man.

Is it reassuring or heatbreaking "What is love?" is still as Googled as it was last year?
In case anyone was wondering, Google's first answer for what is love is, "a strong positive emotion of regard and affection".

Isn't that nice...
