1. Quantum computing. Lots more research in this field due to the end of Moore’s law. Maybe some attempts at graphene CPUs but they ultimately fail and new architecture is needed. I think it’ll be quantum- finally ending x86 dominance.
2. AMD will fail to capture any true market share despite them doing very well in recent times. Intel capitalises on alternative architectures.
3. The SF bubble half-bursts lots of companies die or are consumed by the tech giants, leading to very few startups and bloated large companies.
5. Divergence of client and server processor architecture.
6. The increase of touch-first mobile websites. Much less “apps”, only professionals have laptops. Executives use tablets for nearly everything.
7. Dockable “business” tablets everywhere.
8. Excel finally dies, google sheets takes its place.
9. AWS’s chasing of features over quality finally bites them and they are no longer able to compete in cloud. But they have such a monopoly it doesn’t matter for most people. AWS becomes the “Microsoft Windows” of servers.
