Prediction #5 in my "Great Logging Off" market
Blog post:
https://www.fortressofdoors.com/ai-markets-for-lemons-and-the-great-logging-off
This resolves YES, if, by the end of 2027, in my sole opinion:
There is EITHER a measurable and significant increase in the number of addictions related to the internet and/or computing devices, OR a measurable and significant increase in the severity of existing addictions while the overall number stays flat.
This covers everything from videogame addiction to social media addiction to online porn addiction, to online gambling addiction. The key is it has to have a clear aspect of harm to it.
