My predictions (writing this before reading others' so I'm not too corrupted yet ;)
* The AR revolution starts/takes hold. We move from holding 5" screens in front of us to glasses-mounted or contact-lens based AR devices.
* Crystal (the language) gets more popular and Svelte (the framework) gets more popular.
* WebAssembly takes shape, languages other than JavaScript become first-class citizens of the web, but ES27/ES28/ES29 still dominates.
* Cryptocurrencies get relegated to the sidelines as purely speculative instruments, but Blockchain finally finds some real commercial uses.
* Electric cars reach 50% market share in US / Western Europe.
* At least one major gas station brand converts at least some of its stations to 50/50 electric. The era of going to EVGo charging stations in Whole Foods parking lots ends.
* San Francisco goes through at least one strong (but not 2008-level) downturn of at least ~2 years. Real estate prices stabilize.
* There will be at least five trillion-dollar companies
* There will be at least five 100-billion-dollar companies that haven't been founded as of today.
Can't wait to come back to this on 1/1/30!
- zamadatix 7y agoFive trillion dollar companies is a bit of a cheap bet considering there are 3 public companies that fit the bill right now and goog/amzn are 95% the way there :p.
