What's in Store for the Year 2000?

The iTrack is one of several cool inventions predicted for the year 2000 by the site Look Around You. Had the Sharper Image checked these out, they might have had more staying power.

The i-Trak - by Gordon Taylor. The future is portable, the future is i-Trak. I believe that in the year 2000 people will want to carry their music collection everywhere they go, and the i-Trak is the answer. An 8 Track cassette player that runs off a large square blue 9V torch battery (enough for 30 minutes of continuous playback) with leather carry strap, making this unit truly portable. I also believe that Hi-Fidelity Sound quality won't be as important as creating a 'status symbol' so a round dial and Walnut finish will mean everyone will want one. If you could get ABBA or another big group to endorse this portable player as well as getting it shown on loads of TV programs like Magnum PI and Metal Mickey I think the 'Individuals' of the future will ALL want one.
