Spacial computing (aka VR/AR). As much as I hate it, the tech industry follows Apple and these things WILL stick this time.

good thing I don't go out
It's not really the tech industry following apple, more that apple only goes into a field when others have got it close to normie ready
Apple's about to introduce something even dumber looking than Google Glass and I find it hilarious.
Everyone thought the airpods and apple watch looked moronic as frick. Now everyone in the US wears them.

figures
Airpods and the Apple Watch had precedent in their design, coming from earbuds and other smartwatch models.
The Vision Pro may take from mixed reality headsets, but the past several years have been spent trying to aim for a smaller form factor. Apple came right out of the gate strapping a football to people's faces. Everybody's about to bring back "Hey! Arnold" by calling users "football head".
web3 was never a thing anon.
Most we got to web3 was silkroad and other places to buy narcotics

>blockchains
Cryptocurrencies relied on people either managing their private keys themselves (which doesn't work for most people, because they just get scammed or hacked) or giving the management of their private keys to an institution they trust (but we already have those - they're called banks, although people lose money from those too).
Non-currency blockchains are the same except for data instead of money, which means they are only good if the participants are too smart to get hacked, or the data is so low-value that no one wants to hack it.
That's not to say there aren't real use cases for both of those, but there's still a lot missing before they can become mainstream.
>AI
Generative AI systems are already providing value for millions of ordinary people and businesses.
Of course programmers are going to keep using it to code faster, and other creative professionals are going to use it to help them speed up their process of writing marketing copy, or designing graphics, or composing music tracks, etc.
Even if ChatGPT is just a search engine with a better UX, we shouldn't expect it to disappear or become less significant, and it will only become more useful as Google search results get worse.
There is no near term limit to how much smarter AI can become, in terms of reducing hallucinations and thinking more logically over longer time horizons, so we should expect it to become more and more integrated into people's daily lives, in a way that blockchains never did.
