2011: You wake to find Gmail techs installing a camera in your bedroom so people you have no intention of contacting again can watch you sleep.
2014: Gmail now pays for a plane ticket for a relative/friend who you haven't talked to in a while to visit (based on how often you chat to them).
2030: Gmail clones a soulmate for you (based on conversations you've had using it's service), and delivers it to your door.
