I came here to write just that. The only predictions I am sceptical about (more hoping against hope) are nanoscale atomically precise manufacturing and an interplanetary backbone. I've heard Vint Cerf talk about that interplanetary network before and although I hope I am wrong, I don't think the economic incentives will be aligned to make ventures into space worth taking by 2020. As for nanoscale that one is a free variable like nuclear fusion power, and superhuman AI. They all seem like they are missing a key that when unlocked will just lead to a cascade of progress. I predict synthetic biology to be a precursor to a lot of what nanomachines will be good for.
