I think ar might be a dead dream in its current state, I always thought wed have proper ar glasses by now because I fell for Magic Leaps Marketting, not sure if it’ll come anytime soon.
What I do believe is coming is the resurgence of computers through mobile phones. Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn’t able to use them to their full potential. I wouldn’t be suprised if android pushed out a proper android desktop experience letting android users get the full linux desktop experience when plugged into a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
Phone performance is stronger than the average laptops/netbooks from 10 years age and they run linux fine for everyday use. Feels like a missed opportunity if someone doesn’t drop a phone or os that lets you take advantage of modern hardwares capability. They could advertise it to families, mo more buying a pc for school, just get them hardware for their existing device, it can already do everything. Schools could use lapdocks, or tabletdocks, that could force school parental controls on devices while at school and still let them use it for their education while in class.
(obviously not everyone has a phone but that frees up resources for the kids that dont, if the kids that do can use cheaper docks with their exisitnt hardware)
With the amount of bots and fake profiles on the web, I think there will be a greater push for user verification, maybe a centralized form of virtual ID.
More efforts to make and perfect self-driving vehicles.
Gene editing as a more widespread solution to illnesses and defects.
Yeah I fully expect a government mandated id system for all online platforms. First it’ll be argued it is necessary to allow the platforms to remain free of liability for hosting whatever their posters submit - then it’ll be mandatory to even access those platforms for viewing - then it’ll be pushed onto the ISP level.
