* IoT/Smart-Home tech calms down a little and focuses on what it does well instead of trying to be all-encompassing and ending up half-baked. Ends up being fairly normalized.

* Nuclear still goes nowhere, wind and solar continue to rise in use. Maybe some Elon-esque person starts experimenting with gravity batteries.

* Self driving cars still aren't a thing.

* The price war with uber and lyft ends, and both are still around just more pricey. Food delivery for regular restaurants will stop but chains and delivery only places in cities stick around.

* Commercial FM Radio will be close to death and shut down in a lot of areas.

* Silicon Valley continues it's pattern of cycling monopolies, or ya know, just buying the next one.

Cynical Takes:

* The general public in the US becomes increasingly sick/disinterested/numb as social media and blogs become ambiguously trustworthy (bots, propaganda, etc.) and and local media is swallowed/assimilated into large media groups.

* Moderate cuts to US and UK social benefits continue gradually over the decade.

Hot Takes:

* Twitter gets nationalized due to it's frequent use by politicians.

* Small scale functional fusion reactor is built/being built by the end of the decade, presumably in Europe.
