* Facebook, Amazon, MS will still be around and be bigger than now. * There will be a recession that will ripple for longer than the last one * Waymo will finally launch but have minimal impact in the US and will end up licensing the tech/partnering with car manufacturers to stay relevant. * Apple will enter a tangential but highly profitable market most people won't see coming (think general mobility or communication device) * Google will see a drop in Ad revenue and have a do-or-die moment about their longterm existence (they'll still be healthy tho) * AI won't displace many jobs and we'll come up with another new term for fancy data science * "AI" will be massively rolled out with poor oversight and lead to very bad outcomes on a large scale. People will revolt but not much will change. * Global warming will be alive and well and people will still bicker about whether it is real. * Africa will begin to make huge economic waves in partnership with China and the western world will panic/intervene * We will still trade privacy for convenience amd FB will buy/launch a new product that crosses 1 billion users again * We'll lose 1 of the GAFAM leaders to health/tragic occurence * We won't be on Mars, but Elon Musk will pull of 2 new industry-moving changes * China/Russia some other non-western superpower will undergo a significant political change. Won't quite be democracy but it will be different and effective * Cars and many appliances will now be sold always connected ( 5G?) and there will be several privacy and security issues with no meaningful change. * Snap will get bought
