In a short sentence: security, artificial intelligence and 3G networks. Best comment of the article: "I've been eating a lot of broccoli because I think the future is going to be very, very cool and I want to be around to see it." I think that while security is always important, much of the recent attention will wane. Wireless broadband will be important, but the term 3G will disappear, replaced either by a standards designation (like 802.11a) or a brand name. Artificial intelligent will play a major role in the future but don't look for robots doing housework - look for things like search tools that learn from your selections, traffic lights that respond to traffic flow, monitoring systems in your car that tell you when a part is about to fail... things like that.
