Augmented reality, virtual reality and the ubiquity of cryptocurrencies will become fixtures of life a decade from now, but will only become popularized once the internet is everywhere, running at speeds we can hardly imagine.

With 100GB/ps we'll be able to not only work remotely, but work remotely in the same office.

We may become nostalgic for the days when it wasn't so easy to go into a complete virtual reality - composed of millions of pixels every centimeter - that will feel as real as any other reality once you're transposed.

With augmented reality, she might see a coupon for bras while I see a coupon for some marijuana.

Augmented reality will exist seamlessly side by side with regular reality.

A neighbor may pass and - if his settings are set for "Everyone" - we'll see a floating image of the last movie he saw or recent photos from his latest vacation.

Everybody in the city got a steady universal basic income of NYCBucks, and everyone who visited NYC as a tourist got an allocation based on how many days they would be in the city.

The more transactions the refrigerator does, the more USBucks are mined.

The biggest companies in the world - Amazon, Google, Dropbox, Apple - will only grow larger to meet and upkeep growing amounts of cloud storage data.

Although quantum computing never worked out, quantum cryptography was solved, thereby ensuring the safety of crypto and making it more resilient.
