My Picks for 2006

Here are my predictions for things that will be way hot in 2006.

Electronics
IPod
I-Pods are so hot right now, but with the Nano and upcoming models, video programs can be downloaded and played on the I-Pod. We will be seeing more and more shows offering people to pay a small price to download television show episodes and music videos onto an I-Pod for on demand video. Shows like Lost and The Office are already slated to be released for I-Pod viewing.

TiVo and DVR
11.4 million television viewers already use some type of digital video recorder to record their favorite shows to watch whenever they want with the ability to skip through commercials, putting TV on their time. Neilson's recent announcement of adding DVRs to their survey groups will only help to fuel the DVR fire. Satellite television subscription services are beginning to add TiVo's as standard equipment. DVR's with DVD burners will become more affordable giving people the power to make a permanent copy of their favorite shows.

Fashion
I predict the look for '06 will be preppie with more upturned collars and argyle sweaters. Lacoste is making a big comeback. The tiny logo look will be hot!

Movies
The big hit for Summer '06 will be Superman Returns. Batman Begins was a huge hit for '05. Superhero movies are all the buzz. Other big movies will be X-Men 3 and Mission: Impossible 3.

Television
Everyone is anxiously awaiting the return of HBO's The Sopranos and the final season of The Chapelle Show. Also making a big hit in '06 will be Will and Grace. It's there final season! The live episode they opened with was fantastic and they will be doing it again in '06.
