2023 Internet and Technology Predictions

My personal predictions for the Internet and technology in 2023. Throughout the year, I will update this post with how close I was.

Social Media

• BeReal either gets bought out, diverges from its current gimmick, or dies.
• Instagram either wakes up from it's fever dream and reverts back to being instgram, or tries too hard to be like TikTok and dies.
• Twitter loses its mainstream appeal becoming a pure political shitfest with one sided censorship.
• Discord continues having an identity crisis no one asked for.

Computers

• Apple releases a new Macbook Pro with a M3 that is yet again pretty much the same as the previous generation.
• Linux and ChromeOS becomes more popular, but still not as popular as Windows.

Gaming

• Nothing actually fucking interesting releases.
• GPU prices continue to be a meme. Intel arc is decent but not great.
• AMD CPUs overtake Intel in performance, and market share.

Phones

• iPhone 15 demonstrates how EU are pretty much single handedly regulating the global tech industry.
• Galaxy s23 will continue to just be good. It Just Works™.
