* Google launches self-driving cars that disrupt Taxi Services, Delivery Service (think mobile vending machine put cash in vehicle and your dinner pops out - nearly theft proof), Cars become shared assets via time-share and are scheduled very dynamically via mobile apps, less people will own their own cars - especially in big cities. * Robotics takes over more industries requiring some sort of robotic tax to help keep the economy going for those under-employed. * The internet of things will explode. * Google Fiber becomes airborne and nationwide. 1gig access in all major and minor metropolitan areas via wifi-- allowing cars, bikes, law mowers, chainsaws and everything to have some internet connectivity. * Patent trolling becomes near impossible as patents will require a prototype/MVP be built within 6 months of Patent application or automatic denial of patent. * SF / Silicon Valley's startup draw comes to an end as developer realize that they can build awesome things in smaller Communities like Dayton Ohio, kinda like the Dayton Ruby School is trying to accomplish. * Moore's law is shattered by nano-technology, and pc's become crash resistant and resemble bio-engineered organisms. CPU speed goes through the roof. * USA gets a small amount of MAGlev trains finally (towards end of decade, and only after seeing how much it helps places like China grow and thrive.) -- side note China becomes the major super power in the world. * Open access to media / news / social sites breeds more democracy throughout the entire world, and also helps bring back honesty and integrity to american capitalism in things like lobbying, and campaign finance. * Game of Thrones series is finally completed, HBO executives commit suicide out of frustration getting George R R Martin to stop playing World of Warcraft and get back to writing. * Mind/technology interfaces will become reality. Think downloading memories to flash drives and sharing them with people. Microchips that can improve memory and learning. Gaming/controlling pc's by brain activity. Etc.
