* Windows desktop will still thrive on Enterprise and BigCo's, as politics and bureaucracy will ensure data will not live in the cloud * Return of the dumb terminal: The home desktop will die out in favor of tablets connected to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and your ISP will double as your Desktop/Amazon AWS provider. * If above scenario happens, NVIDIA/ATI will no longer produce consumer level hardware * Death of the thick client gaming console as cloud computing and faster networks will be able to stream Crysis 3 at 72FPSin 1080p. The Steambox-like devices would only be periodically upgraded with a faster ethernet connection. * Conventional phone lines will go 'dark' as everything will be TCP/IP based, with redundant Wi-Max like networks * SPAM will be finally completely eradicated * Car2Go will transform into a legally approved self-driving car rental service * You will still need a several years of experience to be a decent developer, regardless of how much languages evolve * The Roomba will dust as well as vacuum * New York Times will go bankrupt and Tesla will become a huge force to reckon with, as electric cars become commonplace, their technology patented and licensed out to major car manufacturers
