Happy 2026! Yes, that's not a typo...

What are your 2026 new year's business resolutions?

Will you finally activate those robotic employees that you bought in 2024? After all, the only thing holding you back until now was ensuring they were all connected to each other via the 10Tbps light transmission data connection which you just bought for US$10 per year.

How about upgrading the canteen's 3D printers? The new version of the Snack0-x25 series can print those canteen steaks and chips in under 12 secs. And by replacing the filament you can also print the industrialised arm you need for the remote factory floor in Burkina Faso. Makes sense for US$100 per machine or if you prefer, you can pay instantaneously using Facebook's FaceCoin; you have 17 of them available on your account.

Perhaps the biggest change this year will be to trim your workforce from 15 to 10 by implementing that AI system your 14-year-old computer systems specialist has been advising these last three years. The one that measures their remote working conditions (connectivity, ambient light and humidity) and matches their hourly micro-tasks with orders; before your clients know they need them!

Also, don't forget your Tesla self-driving aerocars are due for their wireless online updates. This needs to be completed by February to reduce the following distance to 20mm, the new maximum industry standard. If you upgrade them before, you stand a chance to be in the draw for that week long trip to Deimos, the second of Mars' moons, for your wedding anniversary.
