My own prediction is that in terms of personal computing, the hardware will start to fade into the background, along with the OS. AI will take over consumer mindshare. Windows, iOS, and Android will give way to Cortana, Siri, whatever Google comes up with, and Amazon's Alexa. Probably something similar from Facebook as well. The consistent user experience with any of them will be available everywhere. It won't be important to carry a particular device, the hardware around you will recognize you. I already catch myself trying to ask Alexa for something in my car. I'm sure Amazon will make that a reality sooner rather than later.
