I completed my study in compsci in early nineties. I was in for video games : optimizing 3D engines, etc. So I was expecting 3D to get bigger and faster but I got bored earlier than that. Interstingly, I absolutely didn't see the web coming. I was very interested in BBS'es and Minitel (France) but I didn't connect the dots until I heard of the Amazon and FaceBook and Google which made it big. But TBH, I didn't see how transformational was computing. Most of the revolutions that came, I saw them as mere gadgets (including the mobile phone), or funny things to do. It's only very late that I understood the potential. The only things I saw right were : Linux will eat everything (not because of hindsight, just because I wanted it to be :-)) and I saw that independent gaming would come to life when tools would be cheaper (and I was spot on). My third prediction was : computing will become invisible and ubiquitous (c'mon one has to carry a computer in its pocket all of the time ? tss...). This has yet to realize :-) Maybe with 5G ? :-) I was also fortunate enough to learn FP back then and it allowed me to see the future of many programming languages. But overall, I was "inside" the computer and I didn't realize how much it'd change things and how much it'd change itself.
