Then and Now with Morris Misel episodes

  • 2010: What will the tablet change?
    Nineteen days before Steve Jobs held up the iPad, I said what Apple's tablet would be and what it would do to typing. What I got right, and where I mixed up losing share with losing.
    Radio clip: ABC Radio Australia, Friday 8 January 2010.
    Topics: the iPad before launch, Android versus iPhone, the end of the keyboard, talking to our devices.

  • 2009: What comes after the crash?
    My predictions for 2010: interest rates, Google's own phone, the Kindle, and Foursquare as the next Twitter. One of those still makes me a bit red in the face. A scorecard, and the line from that day I'd say louder now.
    Radio clip: 6PR Perth, Sunday 27 December 2009, with Todd Johnston.
    Topics: interest rates, Google's Nexus One and Android, e-readers and the Kindle, Foursquare and social media, our relationship with gadgets.

  • 2008: Is the crash as bad as we fear?
    New Year's Eve 2008, at the height of the financial crisis, with talk of a million Australians out of work. I said it would be tough but not severe, that the potholes would smooth out, and that by 2011 we'd find a new sense of normal. Here's how that turned out.
    Radio clip: 3AW Melbourne, Wednesday 31 December 2008.
    Topics: the global financial crisis, unemployment, the cautious consumer, retail, business trends for 2009, the new normal.

  • 2007: Will everything end up in one device?
    My top ten for 2007: a hundred years of change in the next ten, and all our media and talk converging into 'one central something'. Eleven days earlier Apple had dropped 'Computer' from its name and unveiled the iPhone. Plus the fridge that reorders your shopping.
    Radio clip: 6PR Perth, Saturday 20 January 2007, with Todd Johnston.
    Topics: convergence, the iPhone year, the PDA, smart fridges and online grocery shopping, the jobs market, interest rates.

  • 2006: What is the internet actually for?
    In 2006 everyone was talking about MySpace, and Facebook had only just opened its doors to the public. I said the internet was turning from a library back into people talking to people. Twenty years on, here's what held, what I had no idea about, and the safety advice that still hasn't changed.
    Radio clip: 6PR Perth, Sunday 12 November 2006, with Todd Johnston.
    Topics: social networking, MySpace and Facebook, online dating, online safety and scams, the internet as a conversation.

  • Then and Now: twenty years of the future, one year at a time
    Twenty years of me on the radio talking about what's coming, from 2006 to this year, played back one year at a time with the dates on. Some calls held, some missed, and you'll hear both.
