Tech had a depressing year in 2017. Perhaps that showed in the number of episodes we did this year. As we look ahead to a more hopeful 2018, we summize the year that was, warts and all, and chat about the trends and memes for 2017. We review our favourite things including movies and apps and discuss how we went in our predictions at the start of the year. Spoiler alert: we sucked!

Kelvin’s predictions: Android ‘O’ will be called one of the following – Oatmeal, Oreo, Ovaltine Amazon will arrive in Australia proper in 2017 Amazon (Jeff Bezos) will purchase Twitter in 2017 Geoff’s predictions: The ‘Google Assistant’ will get a new name and be re-branded – e.g. no more ‘OK Google’ In 2017, there will be a headline about some new tech or incident, equating it to something that happened in the show ‘Black Mirror’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ will double its output of Vol. 1 by raking in at least $1.406bn in the box office. It will be the 2nd biggest Marvel Studios film to date. The Lazy Couch is a geek culture podcast hosted by Kelvin Lee and Geoff Kim, based out of Sydney Australia.
