1. E-bikes will take off. Before the end of the year I suspect almost everyone will have one because Chinese manufacturers will flood the market. A bike with a 500-750w engine is an amazing way to ride to work. You save money, are environmentally friendly and get exercise. Even an untrained fatty can easily handle a 15 km commute on one. Awesome.<p>2. Mozilla and MS will abandon their own html rendering engines and start using WebKit.<p>3. The eye-balls as revenue model will fail. Ad-supported magazines, video sites and many more will become subscription-based instead.<p>3.5. As a sad consequence, Google will lay of A LOT of personnel. Facebook too I guess.<p>4. HiDpi 3200x1800 screens will become the norm. Tablets will make specialized devices like Kindle obsolete.<p>5. Bitcoin will not take of. Visa, Mastercard or a European bank organization will launch a crypto-currency that might take off. Critics will complain that it won&#x27;t guarantee any anonymity.<p>6. Multi-threading and multi-processing won&#x27;t go anywhere because it is to hard. A new language might be created by any of the big companies promising to make parallel processing easy, but it won&#x27;t, and the language won&#x27;t be adopted.<p>7. I predict a lot of health and self-improvement tech being marketed. Like do it yourself genome sequencing, apps to monitor your stats and help you live more healthy.<p>8. GPU:s will be equipped with chips to support raytracing and raytracing-based games will be released and they will look completely mind-blowing.
