The Coming 3D Dystopia
The is less an idea than a prognostication. With the profusion of 3D movies being released and 3D TVs now shipping from Japan, I think the future won't be so much full of Star-Wars-esque holograms but rather 3D media much like what we have today. I'm predicting that in the next ten years people everywhere will own 3D-ready prescription glasses and contact lenses. It just wouldn't be the future if corporations couldn't charge to enhance the experience of being constantly bombarded by their advertisements everywhere you go. They have the technology to make them visible without lenses, but your eyes are free. Of course being Green in this future (or appearing to be) will be a critical part of being a responsible citizen, the biosphere having collapsed as predicted in Cameron's 2009 3D mega-hit Avatar- so be sure to get the one's labeled "3-D" on the frame so everyone knows. That is, unless you want the theater staff giving you dirty looks expecting you'll forget to recycle your temporary pair after leaving with them in your pocket. Pretty soon, you'll just have to wear them all the time just to avoid being hassled by street hippies. Clearly your kids won't want to be the only ones at school who can't see Kaptain Krunch in gloriously vivid stereoscope, so get them a pair as soon as possible, remembering to start a fund for the inevitable eye surgery they'll need after fucking up their eyes from spending all day and night playing 3D games instead of going outside (there's nothing but garbage out there anyway). Start a fund for yourself, I hear 3D porn is closer than you think. What I'm essentially painting here is a portrait of a world where half of what you see when you walk outside isn't really there, it's a projection created through current 3D tech. This idea is not new, but the opportunity for turning a problem - the need for glasses - into a new market, is. Advertisers naturally stampede to use any new attention-grabbing tech, and in future where resources will be scarce and attention-spans microscopic: virtual environments, mascots, signs, and models will not only be dazzling, but endlessly reproducible and infinitesimally cheap. My take on this is the insidious prediction that you'll be tricked into paying to see it.

What the fuck is a Na'vi?
I'd like to see more Unobtainium-plundering humans for Halloween this year. That's an order, soldier! If you're gonna have any chance of getting through those hoards of deadly blue cat-people, you might want to start constructing your Amp-suit now. And just in case you fall in love with your Na'vi prey in a cruel twist of fate, your cockpit could double as a backseat for hot ponytail-to-ponytail action. If you don't understand this idea, you haven't seen Avatar.

Halloween Costumes
Eco-Gym
Many times I've thought while walking past these massive 24-hour gyms in Manhattan, seeing folks slave away on elliptical machines and treadmills, "what a waste of energy!" I'm not sure how the math works out, but someone (not me) should use that wasted power by starting a gym where all the energy expended during these workouts is stored for reuse. If humans found a way to reuse the energy they spend during exercise, it might lead to a healthier culture with cheaper energy. I envision a world where this practice becomes so standard that people could have energy bank accounts where they can build up credit by pumping iron, using a row machine, or spinning wheels on a stationary bike. You could pay your gym membership just by working out there, and any surplus could be deducted from your electric bill, or redeemed with cash back. The owner of these gyms would be generating so much power, they could run the whole building year round, and if we had enough of them, we could run the whole city and stay fit doing it!
