Self drive (electric) cars will be the next big thing. Self park, adaptive cruise control and lane assist mean it is virtually here already. Smart fully internet enabled homes, with all appliances having to be energy saving net compliant is another. Cloud based media (via moble data masts) will signal the end to DVD and Blu-rays, and eventually smart sticks. TV will change the most. Well at least they way we watch it now. Standard channels as we know them now will disappear. TV schedules will be tailored to the individual (Tivo style), and will include inbuilt advertising to match.

We will be spending increasingly more time at home. Travelling by car or going on holiday will become a rationed credit based activity. Journeys will have to be prebooked, and authorised only within your rationed credits. Advertisers will have increasing control over ours lives, and large companies will become political entities at some point.

Like it or not, everything there is to know about you will be available. Your entire history will be mapped and recorded and available to the highest bidder. Forget about a dodgy credit history, i'm talking about your DNA. People with bad genes will become second class citizens. That is until even that can be altered. The rich and powerful will even alter(data) history to suit themselves. (just like United try to do......."joint first last year" etc)

One guaranteed thing for the next 20 years is that it will be blue not red!
