Thick borders around websites will continue to trend on.
No updates for QBN, left to stagnate.MUSIC
Dubstep will continue to be played more and more in tv commercials and movie trailers. Finally people will get sick of it and realise how 1-note and shallow the genre is.

The Dark Tower books by Stephen King will finally have a big Hollywood budget from the Weinstein Company. Production will start in 2013 with Stephen King supervising every detail of the project from beginning to end.
Roland will be played by Aaron Paul, (Pinkman from Breaking Bad.) Which will earn him a Golden Globe and a Oscar nomination. The trilogy will be made using the newest CGI technology. It will be filmed and distributed in 3D just in time for 3D televisions to drop in price allowing the ten part miniseries on HBO which will follow the trilogy to be the most successful film trilogy and television series of all time. After the end of the entire project. Stephen King will be praised for his imagination to levels he's never realized were possible and sales of the Dark Tower series of books will sky rocket.
3 months later Stephen King will shoot himself in the head with a shotgun in his own basement.
