    I dont get this talk of the software industry being our coming saviour.

    I mean surely outsourcing the bulk of Software production to China and/or India will prove even easier than outsourcing hardware production ???

    Software is more creative than manufacturing. Manufacturing is the easy part, it could be done anywhere by anyone once the development is done. Software needs creative people with the freedom to express themselves and that are part of an equally free and expressive society. When China cuts it's people off from the world they're already at a disadvantage in such a rapidly moving industry.

    Seen this article in the Irish Time few months ago, talks about Ireland in 2030, sounds spot on/feasible.

    It'll be like whatever England was like 10 years ago.

    This is the actual honest-to-God-no-joking real answer.

    You could also have phrased it as 'Whatever the USA was like 15 years ago'.

    You'll finally be able to deal with businesses outside the hours of 9 and 5 Mon-Fri. It'll be amazing.

    Ah Jaysus, don't be saying things like that!!!

    But in fairness, that's my job now...

    Hopefully by 2020 I'll be a sergeant at least and well on my way to Detective Inspector...:)

    by 2020, I reckon the economy will have settled and the country will be back to where she was circa. 1993/4 or so. Doing well, but not as well as the boom years.
    Ya could be chief super..

    Mary Harney will be re-elected. But by then she'll be 950 stone and require €9k a week of taxpayers money on food. Luckily, currency has risen so we'll manage.

    We will struggle for years at mastering nuclear power, but a great catastrophe will take place, leaving the isle as a desolate, radioactive wasteland.

    Two years of oppression and strife will then take place after the great Zombie Viking invasion of 2018, leading to the rise of ROBO-BORU who will lead the surviving Gaels to freedom with his dark matter powered mecha-suits.

    Also it will be raining
