This is fun. Here are some of my predictions:
By 2030:
1. Google shuts down at least one of Pixel Phones, Gmail, Google Cloud. Even after a decade, Google is not able to make a successful social-network or messaging application.
2. Stock market: Microsoft and Amazon at-least doubles in MarketCap. AMD will be at-least 4 times what it is now. Tesla will be 5 times by the end of the decade. FB stays about the same!
3. Facebook.com usage goes down considerably (at least by half)
4. Climate change causes mass migrations and wars. Corporations start buying/acquiring massive amounts of land. At least one private company tries to "buy a country". Major wars will be fought over immigration.
5. Bitcoin adoption increases due improvements in usability. Still used only for niche use-cases though.
6. Electric cars will go above 50% share of new car sales. Tesla will be the leader. Self driving cars will be common. Car ownership in general will reduce.

- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI'd put money on Tesla being bought by another manufacturer, possibly Ford or FIAT.
- warrenm 7y agoThat'd be one HELUVA leveraged buy-out ... especially because Tesla owns (or partially owns) SolarCity and other aspects of Musk's empire
- papito 7y agoDude, Google is putting the Cloud on life support in 2023. It won't last this decade.
- julienreszka 7y agoFacebook will continue to grow in the next 20 years that's pretty safe bet
- ShamelessC 7y agoFacebook the company will. I don't believe Facebook the social network will. The company will continue to provide seamless transitions to alternatives that it either develops or acquires as they've already done with WhatsApp and Instagram. I can foresee an (unlikely) scenario where tech outside of Facebook's established market allows for a disrupting network to compete with FAANG without being acquired. It won't be a VR social network, because Facebook is entrenched there already. Probably requires breaking up of Facebook with antitrust law to happen.
