1.Based on Current trends and our uncle Moore,I imagine a large volume of hardware which is portable(smartphones) and with at-least 3-4 times the processing capacity of today's PC will be commonplace in coming 10 years.Also seeing the telephony boom and telephony affordability aided by China ,the world will be better connected via greater broadband speeds.
2. In ten years all mobile devices will have GPS, accelerometers and a compass, as most do today, and potentially other sensors that may help with indoor positioning, a problem that is not yet solved at the mass market level. Devices will also include multiple high definition cameras.
3.Video data capture and streaming:In ten years time it is likely that all smart phones (or whatever replaces them) will be able to film 360 degree 3D video at incredibly high resolution by today’s standards, and wirelessly stream it in real time.Cloud would be the native data storage.The idea of desktop will be already dead along with the idea of the OS.
4.2022 And Augumented reality will rise in warfare and other mission critical human needs.
5.Software landscape will change completely with current data framework's inefficiency to handle large data and Open source is likely to take over with the help of "neogeography" packages.
6.Crowdsourcing will turn a nice face at the end of the decade.Seeing the social networking trend ,C-Sourcing direction is hard to predict.
7.Open policies will evolve more comprehensively.Open data journalism will haunt governments.Just imagine you could be able to access critical data from city pollution meters and other critical data from public utilities.
8.Indoor positioning problem which has no current viable solution will be likely be solved with smarter hardware and better frameworks for public data sharing.
9.The decline of satellites as data provider will begin.
10.FORGET CPUS ,GIS based on ARM/GPUs will take the driver's seat.
All this ofcourse if we survive 2012.
