    This was super promising when I opened it but pretty disappointing. Not really a "map of the future" as much a nice piece of art with some terms thrown around. Shame. #mapofthefuture

    @acrobatic rabbit: Its a think tank in California. It was created in 1968 by Paul Baran, Theodore Jay Gordon, and Olaf Helmer. They have a website.

    What a useless exercise in buzzword aggregation. Honestly, it reads like they took two giant lists of hot topics, and played "one from column a, one from column b" all the way through, with utter disregard to plausibility, potential or implications. Pretty graphics though, and that about the only reason to pay attention to most things in Wired anymore. #mapofthefuture

    @icelight: Yeah. It's pretty eye-candy that will never make it into a Tufte book. #mapofthefuture
