Things to Look Forward to in 2017

Just some hope

10
Things to Look Forward to in 2017

1. iPhone 8

There are rumors of the iPhone’s design, specs and features, including a curved AMOLED display, no home buttons or bezels, a sloped glass back, possible AR powers and wireless charging.

2. Nintendo Switch

It lets you literally switch from playing it as a traditional console in your living room to a handheld you take on the go.

3. Surface Pro 5

4. Samsung's Galaxy S8

Expected to be unveiled at February’s MWC, both versions of the S8 may feature a curved display, but other areas of advancement include the camera and processing power.

5. New, Less Expensive VR Headsets

With the Samsung Gear VR ($99/about £80 or AU$130) and Google Daydream View ($79/£69/about AU$104) already driving the price of mobile VR down, this could mean solid yet less expensive headsets becoming accessible to everyone.

6. Varied VR Content

Qualcomm and Power Rangers are showing off a VR experience tied to the spring film at CES 2017, and the NBA now offers a live weekly game presented in VR via its League Pass service.

7. Wearables

Android Wear 2.0 is leading the way in early 2017

8. Smart Home Products

Microsoft has said it plans to bring its virtual assistant Cortana to Internet-of-Things connected devices in the New Year, including fridges, other kitchen appliances and thermostats. If it has a screen, chances are Cortana will find its way to it.

9. Microsoft Project Scorpio

The console was announced at Microsoft's E3 briefing this year, and it claims it's going to be the most powerful console ever built.

10. Augmented Reality

After seeing the success of Pokémon Go, look for more game and app makers to tap into AR to deliver another layer of immersion to their creations.

Katy Perry, Brad Paisley, Drake, Lorde, Shania Twain, The Chainsmokers, Bell Biv DeVoe, Fergie, Ed Sheran and Iggy Azalea are expected to release new albums.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
