2015 is done and dusted and for many – cheers to that! It was certainly a year that challenged, pushed, demanded and tested.

So here’s to 2016 and what does it have in store? Googling global predictions is quite depressing. Worldwide things are not looking that great.

“The world will face economic challenges on multiple fronts in 2016. As the U.S. Federal Reserve begins its monetary tightening, Europe is struggling to manage migrant and debt crises, China’s financial stability is in doubt... emerging economies like Brazil, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey will be the real sources of concern in 2016. With their high levels of short-term debt, these countries are vulnerable to currency crisis, potentially leading to economic collapse.”

	Evolution in wearables: Apple Watch 2 will be released this year. In 2016 the next level in wearable technology will be in the form of connected jewellery and garments. OK – can’t bear the thought!
	Cyberterrorists will attack the Internet i.e. you will be hacked: Make sure you back up your data, encrypt your hard drives and do what needs to be done! OK!
	Your next boss may be an algorithm: So what is an algorithm? Simply put it is a list of rules/steps to follow in order to solve a problem. Companies may be built around self-running programmes with business decisions made without any human intervention. Oh boy!
	Social networks will start charging for traffic: As social media networks adjust their algorithms the only way brands can ensure they generate a decent amount of traffic is through advertising which will be charged for. Hmmm!
	360 degree broadcasts: These will allow people to move their mobile phones and experience the action as if they were actually present and moving their heads. No man!
	A cheaper iPhone will be unveiled: Apple has been preparing a cheaper iPhone which will share a similar design to the iPhone 6. Who cares!
	Virtual reality will finally be real: i.e. we will see and experience things in 3D. Fun!

	Obama: The Last President Nostradamus predicted that Obama would be victorious in the 2013 elections. He also predicted that Obama would be America’s LAST president. Interesting and what does that mean? At least hopefully Trump won’t Trump!
	Unusual Weather Patterns Nostradamus mentioned unusual weather patterns and natural disasters will intensify further in 2016. He described the events as ‘Water shall be seen to rise as the ground is seen to fall underneath’. We are already witnessing very strange weather patterns around the globe with punishing droughts and extreme temperatures. El Niño? Global warming? All thanks to man’s relentless interference in nature.
	Unusual Planetary Alignments Nostradamus also mentioned unusual planetary alignments and other astronomical type changes that will TRIGGER massive events on earth. More earthquakes or tsunamis?
	Middle East On Fire/ Explosions in the Middle East Petrol and Oil in the Gulf States in the Middle East will be set on fire. Many explosions will occur around the Middle East area and Nostradamus said that planes will be falling from the sky in 2016. We already saw the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March 2014. Scary stuff!
	White House Games He also stated the ‘White House’ has been playing war like games and have set out plans to destroy the world.
	The Poles Will Melt If you look at the high temperatures up North, you’ll probably believe that the prophecy will come true. Global Warming scientists have been saying for years that the North Pole is becoming warmer and warmer.
	*Some serious food for thought!!*
