I think, as usual, we'll see a mix. There has never been a time, other than at the height of the Soviet Union, that everyone has worn or done the same things (remember SNL spoofs of Soviet fashion shows, where everything was grey work coveralls?).

Given that, I think there are going to continue to be a number of people who go environmentally-friendly/organic. However, given the economy, there are going to be people who will be lucky to have anything at all, and will wear whatever they can afford. Jobseekers are likely not going to go out on a limb fashionwise.

Opposite the still-working environmentalist fans, we'll also have the still-working tech fans. They'll be buying the next generation of smart phones; using technology to Get Things Done--automating as much as possible; making as much of their environment as automated as possible. Probably while being as environmentally-conscious as possible.

Everyone's most popular New Year's resolution is getting in shape. Fitness games, like Nintendo's Wii Fit, were huge in 2008 (the game is sold out at electronic retailers, though many people are finding them at trade shops like GameStop). the one thing the games can't do is predict future results.
