Mac OS X will still be on version 10. Java, C, and JavaScript will be the three most dominant languages. Languages will be built atop them to handle better concurrency without programmers handling threading. Android and Mozilla will dominate cellphones, both supporting fully JavaScript apps. Broadband fiber and broadband (cell) wireless will dominate home connections, with cable and phone lines rapidly dying. There will be much hype over electric cars but super-efficient gas-powered cars will still dominate. The database and app server will finally converge with successors to CouchDB. We will live in a police-state with ubiquitous surveillance and nobody except hackers and civil libertarians will care. The stock market will have crashed worse than '09 due to banks failing yet again. Cannabis will be completely legal in about 20% of states and the federal government will tolerate it or add exemptions for states voting it in. Apple and Microsoft will be niche players in a market dominated by Google and Amazon. Mars will still be a fantasy after several high-profile deaths on missions there. We'll be anticipating faster-than-light travel and dedicate our efforts to finding Earth-like conditions and space mining.
