The Voice interface will be mastered. We will be talking to computers and they will understand the meaning/context of our words, and help us live our lives. Siri is where it starts.
-
Fully articulable, brain-controlled artificial limbs will be in existence. Amputees will have limbs replaced with an artificial limb, and continue to live fully enabled. Price would still be high at this time. There is already great progress in this area.
-
Driverless cars will start to gain popularity. People who purchase an autonomous vehicle (e.g. Google's driverless car) will be sitting in their cars, working/entertaining themselves with mobile devices while they are driven around. Google is close to launching their autonomous car for sale. They are way ahead of the competition. Google will be heavy in the automotive game. They are lobbying to legalize Autonomous Vehicles in the US.
-
We will have devices with morphable, touchable interfaces. For example, we may have a mobile device whose screen can be resized by pulling its corners out. Materials technology will be quite advanced by this time.
-
3D printers will be cheap enough to be commodity items by this time. Anyone will be able to build 3D structures when they need to; if you break a wine glass, no worries; just print out another one. Furthermore, houses will be built using giant 3D printers. These printers will be moved around to print out houses and build neighborhoods.
