- “AI” will be a continuing hype that still falls to deliver. “Self driving cars“ will be a thing but not in the sense that they are fully autonomous. People still buy (more often leads) and drive cars.

- Personal Integrity will be the new “organic” of gadgets. A more tech savvy and privacy conscious generation will demand to not be listened to by their TVs.

- Lots of lowland is ocean!

- Nuclear power makes no big comebacks

- Fusion power is now looking promising but still far from commercial

- We still use PCs and we still use desktop software. It’s becoming more and more niche however (e.g used by certain professions.).
