( CNN ) -- The turkey has been stuffed and so have our arteries ; our now-corpulent bodies have crawled over corpses in a consumerism-driven fit of of lust and now , finally , we 're back to rot at our desks , wistfully gazing toward the glimmering mirage on the horizon known as `` Christmas . '' As you look out on that coupon- and candy-trimmed future , we 're sure you 're reflecting on all that has gone by this year : All the milestones and memories . All the mistakes and monstrosities . Well , dear ones , so have we -- and , being tech writers , those reflections have naturally turned Web/mobile-ward . Sure , there have been tons of exciting innovations unleashed upon the masses this past year , but there 's also a passel of new ideas that we 're glad never caught on . In order to compile a list of said ideas , we tapped some the tech scene 's finest for their input . Check it : . 1 ) `` As awesome as 4K ( or 'Ultra HD , ' as the tech wants to be called now ) will be ( So . Many . Pixels . ) , I ca n't help but shake the feeling that the same problems that snuck up on people with the spread of plain-ol ' HD are just going to get worse . Not even spray-on HD makeup will be strong enough to cover up all of the pores . There 's going to be a lot of angry reality TV show participants . '' -- Seth Porges , Co-founder of Cloth . 2 ) `` A Siri that actually works . As a human society , we 're not ready yet for an intelligent being that lives inside our phones . Sure , Siri can fetch you the weather and add appointments to your calendar , but it ca n't communicate with another Siri and find the best time for that conference call . There is n't real artificial intelligence that lives and breathes inside our phones yet . Siri , and Google Now and other apps can synthesize and retrieve data , but ultimately they can not decide for us . Yet . '' -- Ben Huh , CEO of the Cheezburger Network . 3 ) `` AirBnB for drones . '' -- Ian Hogarth , CEO & Co-founder of Songkick . 4 ) `` I am glad that the automatic , pervasive check-in has n't yet become a reality . You can see the beginnings of it with Path 's auto-stamp of where you are when you open the app ( unless you disable it , which most seem to do ) , but it is n't part of mainstream social media platforms like Facebook and foursquare . Yet . '' -- Leslie Bradshaw , President , Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder of JESS3 . 5 ) `` HotOrNot-enabled vanity mirror . '' -- Aaron Koblin , Data Arts Team , Creative Lab at Google . 6 ) `` Twitter going AdWords and showing me ads based on what I 'm tweeting about . That could be interesting on some days , vile on others . '' -- Caryn Rose , Director of Product Development at Billboard.com . 7 ) `` Google 's Project Glass . Google originally promised that it would ship beta versions to developers at the end of 2012 , but as of Nov. 26 , those who pre-ordered are still waiting . Good thing , too . While Project Glass sounds super-cool on the surface , the idea is also kind of creepy . Not only do the glasses look weird on everyone who is n't a runway model , I ca n't help but find the overall idea distracting . Plus , can you imagine how difficult it 's going to be walking across a busy street , dealing with people not just engrossed in their cell phones , but literally looking ahead and focused on inanimate objects ? '' -- Christina Warren , Senior Tech Analyst at Mashable . 8 ) `` Software that can predict a hit song . '' -- Tim Westergren , Co-founder of Pandora Radio . 9 ) The ability to see who looked at your profile on Facebook . We can only imagine the carnage that would ensue if our collective stalking history were unleashed unto the world . Zuckerberg have mercy on our souls . -- Brenna & Andi .
