- Cleaning up email will be a priority - outgoing messages will probably be signed by the source server (or isp) and only accepted on the client if the email key and server keys (requested via http or other route) validate. Thus reducing anonymous spam and identifying compromised systems, also better identification of suspect routes/sources. - Fax machines will evolve into some sort of fax via internet machine, probably merge into email but still be a plug and go option for businesses. - Phone books will be dead - there will be a new cloud based directory (likely government subsidized or regulated to enforce access and consistency) - The desktop wont die, but the mass consumer market will move onto cloud appliance stuff. - Land Line phones are become very obsolete. - With the transition to the internet there will be government subsidies/programs/grants for every citizen to have a reachable "address" and be educated on access to the internet. Postal service will change....? - Green energy generation and battery storage will have major milestones. - Some 'damn fool' kills himself while doing some sport in low earth orbit. More fools gladly follow. - Global warming is called a boom - for the construction, fossil fuel, and mining industries. - Self-Driving cars will be popular in large cities - transportation subscription plans will reduce number of privately owned cars in those areas as well. - Cops will implement wide-range quadcopter drone first-response to record incidents and track suspects. - People my figure out that money != economy... maybe not... - Armband computing (bigger than a watch but still fashionable... bracer sized with snap on space for peripherals?)
