Predict the technology in 2025

Swap ops picture with a tablet inserted. Mobile phones can and will be use. But I think tablets will be bigger to convert into a desktop. Purly as they can be used as a laptop on a train, you aren't going to work on a phone. For example win8 has BYOD built in and controllable and according to reports, industry is receiving this very well and looking to introduce it. I recon this will kick of big style in the coming decade.

Storage will get smaller, not increase. 25years we will awesome 4g service or better and cloud will take over.
We'll have flexiable screens and some odd devices due to that, like the bendy nokia prototype. Zoom in and out by flexing the whole phone is one of the controls.

By 2020 we will have awesome batteries which hold ~5 times more and faster charging.

Don't be daft. Until we have a network anywhere near what they have in the far east (ie Japan/Korea) that aint going to happen. I can barely play iplayer at 2mb/s.

And in 12 years I really can't see BT doing a nationwide fibre roll out.

They don't need to, 4g is going to solve nation wide broadband dead spots. It's written into the 4g spectrum contracts. They will legally have to do it and well within 12 years.
 
Driverless cars. The technology is already there Google and others are doing it.

Personally I'm very excited about it!

I would think that not only your data but your desktop interface will look the same no matter what device you use, from your PC to your phone to the screen in your driverless car, it'll all be synced through 4G and cloud storage.

I share the concerns of other posters though, I wouldn't like to leave everything online.
 
Google glass, everything built into a headset for augmented reality.

Dump charging for electric vehicles.

Auto drive

Wireless home power
 
apple will be launching the iphone 17, slightly smaller and slightly spec bumped over the iphone 16,

Apple to have ammased enough wealth that they buy a small country(say spain or Greece) for tax avoidance purposes

AMD/Nvidia faboys still to be fighting over who is best
 
Hopefully everything will be wireless and there will not be the need for masses of cables as with pc's of today. I can see graphics cards as we know today being redundant and everything done by the cpu with smaller motherboards.

Corned beef tins will open with a key pull avoiding the thousands of a+e visits by careless people each year thus saving the nhs millions each year.

5UB will be prime minister and will vapourise small troublesome countries at will :)
 
Wi-tricity should be around by then, Fusion power will finally be fully utilized if it is all sorted out, Holograpic HAPTIC displays should spring up quite soon id imagine (keyboards that are purely light holograms that react to your movement), Hydrogen cell cars should be the norm unless we find a better way to do things.

Oil will be practically dead due to how expensive it would be by then i would think.

Skylon should theoretically be available by then...I dont know though, but basically Hypersonic craft will be wizzing us around the world id hope.

Quantum computing is almost upon us, I expect it to be very powerful by 2020s, perhaps we may even have a full Photonic Unit by then.

Ohh exciting :)
 
Fusion isn't going to be by 2025. The demo reactor second phase isn't till 2040 and proto reactor is 2050 and beyond building on the results from demo and will be a prototype fusion reactor.
Demo rector isn't even going to be built by 2025

DEMO would be used to demonstrate all the technology related to the reactor and to produce, for the first time, significant amounts of electricity from fusion; while
PROTO would act as a prototype power station, taking in any remaining technology refinements, and demonstrating electricity generation on a commercial basis.

Hydrogen fuel cell cars aren't going to be the norm ever. There's massive draw backs to creating and storing hydrogen in a dense enough form. EU as have most other countries are fully behind electric cars and are rolling out the infastructure.

Talking about ITER, I know its...basically just experimental phase...but still :).
