1. Electric car purchases will overtake ICEs. Not only that, but the development of 'smart cars' will be the next big thing similar to how the iPhone changed cell phones. Gas stations will start installing e-chargers once the tech improves charging speed. 2. We will be able to have more direct manipulations of an asteroid and a human will walk on Mars. 4. One or more countries will combine. 5. Colleges won't be completely gone, but will become less and less important as online education increases in complexity and effectiveness. 6. Automation will directly upset populations and countries will be forced to adapt. 7. Gaming will continue to grow rapidly. VR will become cheap and accessible. ESports and online personalities will eclipse physical sports in viewership. 8. Nothing interesting will happen with cryptocurrency, if it doesn't outright fall flat.
