It's incredible looking back through the posts how quite a few predictions were on the mark, and also how some of those feel like they've been around for ages, like fingerprint being standard on most mobile phones now, and FTTP being available to a large proportion of the country.
Predict the technology in 2025

John Titor, is that you?What do you reckon the PC, phones, etc... is going to be like?
Remember, 12 years ago, most people did not have laptops. Most people had beige boxes and CRT monitors.
IMO...
Smartphones will replace laptops and desktops for most people. This will be the setup for most people.
An average storage will be around 2-3TB for phones. 5-10TB for desktops/laptops.
12-16GB of RAM, an average.
Windows, OSX, Linux, most likely unified platforms of mobile and desktop OS'.
Fanless laptops, SSD will be on all laptops.
5G connections, most carriers will become ISPs basically.
Even a cheap laptop will be incredibly overpowered for a normal consumer
Web apps are going to be even more powerful, most people will store all their data in the cloud.
Everything will have a touchscreen.
Maybe a touch recognition on the phones... recognizes an owner's fingerprints, unlocks.
Google's 3D maps will cover most of the world, it's going to be glorious!
4th gen XBOX, PlayStation 5... will probably be amazing.
You're supposed to predict what will happen

Fun read. Could do with a 2035+ thread. Will the ICE ban go through, or be delayed?

5G MPNs, 5G slicing and 5G satellite connectivity leading to a rise of IoT connectivity, smart cities etc. technically should reduce costs but we all know it won't.
I think the rise of AI integration with most workflows and frameworks in both consumer and professional/corporate environments.
Also big data brokerage whilst already well established I've seen so many consultants now offering unlocking 1-5% of net profit by using your business data to offer insights.
New battery tech or commercialisation of synthetic fuels.
Some new semiconductor capability making PV panels more efficient.
