IF people would just stop smoking, we wouldn't need that...
I anticipate brain implants so that people with broken eyes can see via camera...and instead of having a computer monitor it all shows up in virtual reality in your head. Same with audio - thumping bass in your head - but the people with the loud stereos at 2 a.m. will still blast them, as half the reason for a loud stereo is to impress people with how much of an asshole you can be. (Same with revving motorcycles at 5 a.m., and missionaries.)
Also, cars will drive themselves (we already have adaptive cruise and the Nissan Cima in Japan has "lane keep", reads the lane lines and stays inside them), but the worst drivers will still insist on driving themselves around.
Basically I see technology continuing to make our lives easier, accompanied by rampant depression as people find themselves comparatively useless, and assholes finding newer, faster, louder ways to be assholes.
