VR games. Smart watches. Fitness devices. Millenium Generation are putting more money into fitness stuff and Under Armor just bought myfitnesspal app. Google released their own. Those things will amass a good amount of big data for companies so I see that becoming big. Electric cars. Tesla really pushed it. BMW and Nissan is embracing it. All the hyper cars are moving to hybrid right now. It's easy to see where the direction is going. Machine learning/ Data science. It's going to grow. As for the tech stack I'm not entirely sure, but I know Spark will be vying for some market share if they keep the momentum up but Flink can be an underdog. Eventually, we might get a good realtime framework/software instead of batches and micro batches. Scala is going to go down as people are going to see how complicated the language is really. I've seen few move to Clojure. That's the trend I'm predicting for this language. Autonomous cars ain't going to be here by 2018. Things I think will not be a trend: I wouldn't add google glasses type of thing because I don't think the technology is there to make it last more than an hour or two really. Open Source Graph data base. Titan is going to going to die and there won't be any promising open source one in the horizon and I'm sadden by this. Front side js rendering is going to be still fighting for dominance. React, angular, ember, etc... It'll have massive code base shift with ECMA 6 and nothing will settle and everything is still wild wild west in this frontier.
