What to look forward to in 2022

Worried about what the new year will bring?

Newsweek has a list of things to look forward to in 2022, including:

All the big carriers are rolling out 5G nationwide this year and not just for super fast downloads…it’ll also allow AI to be a part of our daily lives.  Some experts think it could “usher in the next industrial revolution.”

The Winter Olympics starts in Beijing February 4th.

A new Girl Scout cookie is coming in a few weeks…they’re called Adventurefuls, a brownie-style cookie with caramel-flavored cream.

There are some BIG movies coming including a new “Top Gun” movie in May, a new “Thor” in July, “Hocus Pocus 2” this fall and maybe even an “Avatar” sequel!

Soccer fans can’t wait for The World Cup…that starts November 21st.

And (finger crossed) less covid.  No one knows if the pandemic will officially end this year but most experts think things will at least be better in 2022…and the new Paxlovid antiviral pill could save a lot of lives, too.

What are you looking forward to this year?
