I wonder what the most accurate current 20 year prediction of technology is. Anyone want to hazard an attempt?

- abecedarius 15y agoI was impressed with Vernor Vinge's novel _Rainbows End_ set around the late 2020s or so. Big deals included augmented reality with wearable interfaces, robots and ubiquitous computing, social software, biotech, and some brain hacking. And Hollywood and the national security state basically winning the fight against Turing machines. (It was published 5 years ago.) My own guess is we'll see game-changing nanotech sooner than most people think.
