Important for which actors? Early adopters are already using some form of what will become mainstream this decade. Will came a a lot of new things for early adopters, but only a few will become mainstream in the next one. In the same way, intelligence agencies, hackers, and more are already using things that with a bit of luck general people will become aware this decade (but will fail to take good measures about it), and new advancements will become gradually available for both kinds of bad players in the next years, some that will remain, others that may be override by more prevailing ones. Besides technology, the divide that I did above will become more important next decade too. How technology changes us, and what we become caused by it, is more important than the technology itself. Think in how we went from a culture of discretion and privacy to one of mindless sharing.
