Prediction: “u” becomes the next “i”
written 3 Apr 2008 while the school buses headed home
I remember it most fondly from the 90′s…everything was “x”: xTreme, motoX, and x-salad. Then the Internet started blooming and we all found ourselves indundated with email, e-commerce and eNewsletters. Looking to capitalize while setting itself apart, Apple unveiled (and still is) all things iPod, iPhone, iMac, iEtc…
And just as it would seem that there is nothing left to i-itize, a new letter shines on the horizon: the might u. I’m saying it now and I’m likely right, within the next year or so you’ll see it everywhere; think uBots, uBooks and perhaps even a vintage uBoat or two.
Don’t say I didn’t warn u.
All quiet on the frontier...
...you could be the first, just go ahead and get to the typing!
