sharing economy, virtual reality based solutions, widespread native language support on human facing interfaces, cloud storage, applications entirely based on cloud ecosystem, 3d printing aiding fashion exploration rapidly,
Hardware : much better batteries, much lower power processors, devices that are just like plates of glass, featureless and see through. Personal mobility devices ( electric skateboards ), exoskeletons for manual work. Robotic helpers in next decade ? Prototype humanoid bipedal autonomous, not widespread at all. Wifi tattoo inks that luminesce / buzz as a notification, people get them on their forearms and elsewhere.

Networking / computing : all about massively parallel low power 1 million server WANs.

Medicine : Theranos style testing is everywhere. Some genetic modifications available for embryos. CRISPR/ vector gene therapies becomes mainstream for > 200 conditions, tho they are not generally effective across the population. Cystic fibrosis cured. Wild-west labs experiment with genetic reversible "enhancements", like broader-spectrum vision, increased ceberal blood flow, overexpression of metabolic enzymes in brain. Initial human trials of therapies to temporarily reverse age related cellular damage.

Software : far more personalization of content and algorithms, micropayment ecosystem for the web, non-generally-intelligent AI will be our main interaction ( instead of searching ).
