That tech will regress due to the greed of tech corporations.

Tech is regulated by the big corporations that consistently either throttle innovation or degrade what already is established because they all want to figure out how to squeeze as much profit out of everything possible while blocking or preventing anything new that might compete with them.

Any new innovation that will occur will be military and will either have a machine gun attached to it or can deliver a high explosive.

Google will kill a product or service you use and like.

More data breaches, more companies being hacked, more supply chain attacks with npm, apt, and pip.

The cartel is rising SSD prices.

Elon Musk is gonna say and/or do something stupid. That's tech, right?

Either Uber or Lyft go bankrupt.

A lot of unicorns that aren't currently profitable also go bankrupt as their funding dries up and there is no more available loans.

Here are some things I think will happen.

Nueralink first implanted to a human. Likely the first person gets killed also probably due to complications.

Increase lifespan of pig heart implants to humans.

Introduction of autonomous drones that are allowed to make decisions who to kill, I predict it's going to be tested in Ukraine.

We start to see more widespread effects of LLM in general in our society, lost of jobs, and so on.

Release of Windows 12, possibly backtracks Windows 11 decision of requiring TPM.

Solid state batteries being used in EVs

Open source AI models will overtake for profit ones in complexity, power, and usefulness.

The iPhone 16 will be the most powerful iPhone ever created

GPT-5 releases and it's a bigger leap forward than most industry experts were predicting.

Computer components will get a bit more expensive except motherboards for some reason.

maybe anticheat compatibility on linux? since the steam deck is a thing now, companies like epic or EA might wanna cash in. i love that most of my games run with gold, platinum, or even native qualities (theoretically, i still use windows), but most of the online games with anticheat still need to be adapted by the Devs to run on linux.

also this is definetely the year of the EU deciding uncontrolled data collection by random companies isn't a good thing.

It will be a leap year

The US is going to pressure the EU into loosening regulations for US based tech companies which will result in a return to some, and the advancement of other anti-consumer practices.

New content for streaming is going to fall off a cliff. Except maybe for Apple, no streamer seems willing to put money into new flashy shows the way they used to.

If a new breakout TV show hits this year, it is likely going to be more in the model of IASIP or Shoresy.

Multiple countries demonstrating sustained, net-positive fusion reactions seems extremely likely.

Innovation doesn't happen that fast. The most you can hope for is the Pixel 9 and the iPhone 16. And the iGoggles
