Because of its high traffic and low prices, his site was in great demand
among companies that needed advertising space, including ‘The Times’ news-
paper and Yahoo. In late January 2006, the last pixels were sold, and Tew be-
came a millionaire.
Tew knows that this idea will only work once, but he says he has learnt a
lot about business, and he is already working on his next venture.

What will the future bring?
(Part I)
New Media
With wifi connectivity everywhere in the next decade, people will be di-
vided into three categories: the constantly wired, the selectively wired and the
disconnected. Freedom will depend on the ability to select which group you
belong to. Relationships between these groups will define society. As most
transactions ant interactions (economic, electoral, health, education, travel, rela-
tionships, and so on) will occur electronically, your personal identity will have
to be protected by both you and the government.
Society
Mental health and quality of life will be worse, s population growth eats
up green space. More people will be leaving the UK for better living environ-
ments (France, Spain). Globalization will leave us time-stressed and denatured.
Britain’s cities will be denser, and more claustrophobic. Terrorism, drug abuse
and drinking will be more widespread. “Natural” (man-made) disasters will be
on the rise. Hybrid green cars using more combination of electricity, hydrogen,
biodiesel and petrol, will be common on the roads. GM foods will have spread
worldwide though not quite to the UK. Offices will house dormitory capsules
to maintain round-the-clock productivity.
Science
We will be living in a hotter, stormier country struggling to balance its
energy needs with its obligations to decrease carbon-dioxide emissions. A na-
tional campaign to build new nuclear plants will become the main focus. Oppo-
nents will stress the dangers, and will insist on using wind plants to provide
carbon-free electricity. On a more positive note, research on human stem cells
will allow to have widespread clinical use, giving hope to patients with di-
abetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
