Here goes my prediction:

1. The environment will go even wilder, creating unbalance across continents. Major migrations will take place into cooler regions. This will probably create internal conflicts in the host country and the rise of extremist parties and conservatives. People will be divided based on their interests and will be globally available while not knowing each other's neighbors.

2. AGI will not happen, but AI will be an integral part of human life, solving problems at speed and precision. More tech stacks will be developed that allows people and business to automate mundane tasks.

3. The world leaders will not work on climate change and the fuel prices will soar up. Alternative energy sources will not be the major player in the industry but rather a flex point for the riches. Amazon will lose up to 20% of its forest area, impacting the environment even further.

4. The economic disparity will create a social conflict across various regions which will ultimately create a huge shift of wealth to the general public. Thus, booming days are coming where people will be able to earn and spend on medical bills, education, and entertainment without going broke.

5. Technological advancement in distributed computing, AI and data science will allow businesses to solve, and create tools across several verticals. Thus there will be huge growth in the agriculture, manufacturing and processing industries.

6. Biotech will be the trending topic. Immersive VR will be a thing, where one can feel the things in the VR.

7. Display technology will change for the first time in later half of the next decade. There will be emersion of mixed display technology. Mobile devices will be the thing of the past, however, people would still be using it.

8. People will be even lonely.

9. Quantum Computing will enter the discovery phase and will be available to local publics too.

10. Web will have a rapid change and will be designed to support AR stack and VR stack.

11. Parallel computing and parallel algorithms will be mainstream and new kind of programming paradigm will emerge.
