9. There will be an Uber for friends
朋友出租服務(wù)將上線

想?yún)⒓泳蹠⑾氪蚯虻珔s苦于找不到伴嗎？完全可以從別人那租一個來！據(jù)青蛙設(shè)計公司（Frog Design）預(yù)測，“朋友出租服務(wù)”將于2016年上線。有需求就可以租，這和“分享型經(jīng)濟”不是同一個道理嗎？

10. Your next boss may be an algorithm
老板也許會是機器人

Artificial intelligence will continue to be baked into an increasing number of devices and services. More than that, though, entire companies may be built around self-running programs, with business decisions made without any human intervention. Think we’re joking? The first decentralized organizations are already being developed for the Ethereum Frontier network. We have met our robotic overlords, and we’d like a 10 percent raise and more flex time, please.
人工智能技術(shù)將運用到更多的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)中去。甚至整個公司都有可能實現(xiàn)自動運作。通過編排程序，商業(yè)決策或許不需要人的參與。這可不是開玩笑，以太坊（Ethereum）的Frontier平臺就在實行分散性運作。這么說我們的老板也許會是機器人。那么請給我加薪百分之十再給我更多的彈性時間吧，老板！
