pretty much like it is now. Computers will be about 200 times as powerful, if Moore's law is correct (but it does not look like Moore's law is accurate, currently projections indicate only 100 or so times more powerful in 10 years.) Mobile phones will still be in use, but they will be much more powerful, like desktop computers of today or even better. Most people will still do nearly all household chores by hand, a good amount of us still wont have dishwashers. Probably the most interesting field that will affect us is portable media players. The current fad will either die out or take over. They are either going to become toys, not taken seriously, or most people will constantly use them. wireless charging will be taken up by most mobile phone manufacturers and portable media player manufacturers. Digital television will be implemented in some capacity in most countries in the world, with some having become entirely digital. Whatever happens, major social revolution, flying cars, and teleportation are not really likely for a while. Humans instinctively move against change, so things tend to move fairly slowly.

People will be buying trendy bottled oxygen and people in lower income brackets will have to settle for oxygen booths for fresh air, cell phones will be made in the for of wrist watches and the battery life will be dramatically enhanced, better medical technology will help expand human life span a minuscule amount, hybrid cars will become more popular as gas prices reach extreme levels, all N.A.S.A. funding will be cut by the government so there war efforts can have a little extra funding so N.A.S.A. will by fund exclusively by private companies, and like normal the rich will keep getting richer and poor will keep getting poorer until food riots break out on a weekly basis.

To tell you the truth, I doubt there will be much difference. We are reaching the pinnacle of miniaturization, and therefore things are either going to get bigger again, or there will be no change as I see it. We are miles away from robots, flying cars, and all sorts of other things. I think it will be simply the names of the hardware that you buy that will probably be different.

it will be an even more expensive rip-off than it is now. I wanted to buy a LCD HDTV. They probably make them in Japan or China for a few bucks and sell them for a few thousand. Although I've heard that in Japan and Taiwan TV's are more expensive there than here.

Well... i think there will be not a lot of change.
TV's will get thinner, Computers quicker, but i cannot see us all using "hybrid" cars or floating ones!
they were predicted to be used by people in 2000.

Sony have released a 3mm thick TV. thats uber cool!
