Our 2015 predictions: Kanye, Kim Jong Un, Google, and more

Everyone’s been talking about the great and not so great things that have happened in the year 2014. ISIS, ice buckets, protests, Ebola, and the deaths of many great people such as Robin Williams and Dr. Maya Angelou … It’s not like those things are irrelevant now, but history eventually shapes the future.

Now that it’s a brand new year, it’s time for us to predict 2015. How could the events of 2014 change this new year, for better or for worse? We’ll try and keep this a short and sweet read:

Hopefully by mid-2015, we each will have a hoverboard.

Kanye West will probably buy the rights to L. Ron Hubbard’s religious work and use his status of diety to take over the Church of Scientology.

Google Glass will become customizable with Ray Ban frames.

We predict Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush will be wed and become President and Vice President.

The San Andreas fault line will break and John Cusack will declare, “I told you so!”

There will be an Edward Snowden reunion tour in late June.

Kim Jong Un will die from a heart attack. And exploding head syndrome. And tiny hand syndrome.

Jeb Bush and Vladimir Putin will host a beer summit.

Apple and Disney will join forces to reset the calendar, as predicted by the Mayans and according to Kanye’s  latest discoveries in Scientology.

But, on a serious note, we have been guilty of overlooking ISIS, which still has great influence over Iraq and surrounding countries. We may be underestimating North Korea. Our eyes may be slow to observing the dark deeds welling up from below the surface of pop culture. Unforetold things are buried in the superficial news that comes and goes so fast. It seems as though underestimating powerful leaders and institutions will come around to bite us in 2015.
