* Places will start to become uninhabitable. Nomadic living will start to come back, though more in the form of people living in their cars.
* Less use of wired internet. Wired internet subscribers decrease
* Self driving cars get to 95% of situations. Automated buses start leading to weird generated bus routes working sort of like uber pool but for larger vehicles
* Smaller automated vehicles pop up. A vehicle that makes pizza on the way to deliver it to you
* Increase of processor types in a PC/phone. Dedicated lower power ones, ones for video decoding, crypto, whatever
* Some previous identifiers are discarded. Phone number and social security number are useless
* Increased fragmentation of the internet. Countries having "Facebook, but it's from Australia". Perhaps enforced by charging to leave the country
* The mobile phone splits apart. Your display is not the same as your cpu unit, is not the same as your input. They become more invisibility integrated into our normal appearance
* The first genetically modified human is born
* 90/00s nostalgia is in full swing
* Javascript still number 1
* At least one attempt at a sea based city
* Increase in mental health issues, lifespan won't increase dramatically
* The banning of one or more food additives we currently eat
* Lithium batteries finally replaced
* Google stagnates
* Apple introduces an even lower cost iphone, not available in first world countries
* USB C finally dominant, no less confusing
* Microsoft releases a posix compliant os
* Windows 7 will still have market share, Windows xp will some how still be around
* One US city will get unusually hip with people looking to move away from the high rent prices of another
* Low level call center employees are completely replaced
* Grocery store stockers, and cashiers gone
* A good dent in janitorial staff as robots begin to replace them
* Twenty new unicorn start ups, eighteen dead ones
* Someone tries to do Yikyak again
