"A scene of road repairs at Shepherds Bush in west London exemplifies this - steamrollers dominate the scene, not men with pick-axes or hand held shovels as would once have been the case."
Yeees. Apart from the fact that steamrollers have been in existence for over 100 years, there are no pickaxing machines, and besides steamrollers and men with shovels and pickaxes actually are doing different jobs. A great example of lazy journalism. Sitting in a traffic jam on her way into work, she ponders "what shall I write about today?".
"Competitors will stop being competitive and learn to get on with each other."
That's not from the article, I just made it up. But it seems appropriately ridiculous.

I think BT should concentrate on their appalling Broadband service instead of crystal ball gazing into a future their company may not have as their customer service generally could not care less about the suckers who use their products. By 2020 BT may well no longer exist along with their futurologists job!

Daft article. Now you know why BT has to rip-off all its customers, it's to pay all these t*ats.

The future is female, BT predicts.
And where was Adams future, if it wasn't for Eve?
Answer: STILL in the garden of Eden!

When it comes to crystal ball gazing, the BBC is the one and only. They could predict the collapse of WTC7 26 minutes before it actually happens, couldn't they? I cannot forget the live news coverage in which a female reporter speaking fervently about the collapse of WTC7, with the very WTC7 still intact behind her. The fallacy of the century!!

Only because the steam rollers are not under the trees on Shepherds Bush Green sleeping, making tea or reading the Sun.
Futurologists are a complete waste of space. Where is my hover car is why was my last holiday not on the moon? Here's a prediction. By 2020 BT will finally figure out that futurologists are indeed a waste of space and are better employed digging ditches.
