## Resource

Fifteen years ago on The Gadget Show, we tried to predict what the future of technology would look like. From cashless payments and AI to augmented reality and holographic TV. In this special episode of the podcast, we go back into the archives to watch those predictions again and find out what we got right, what we got wrong, and what still hasn’t happened yet. #Tech #FutureTech #AI #GadgetShow #RetroTech #ArtificialIntelligence The Gadget Show competition is officially back, with a massive £5,000 tech prize fund up for grabs via CeX!
