#2I work in the fishing industry. Based on what I am seeing - fully autonomous fishing boats/cleaning/packing plants. You know how you have a single farmer handling hectares of farmland, its really looking like fisheries are going to go the same way easily in 10 years.

Yes, same is happening in fish food (as in food for fish). Just have to go to the ones that report failures or have lost electricity. In that sense not fully automated, and it will take a while for fully automated boats. Its very much like what big farmers do.
Point to a job that doesnt require human interaction and someone in the field can tell you how to make him jobless.

#4In ten years we will know one way or another if short term profits matter more to us than the long term prosperity of our civilization. And not just individuals, but how our overall system of collective government responds to individuals at a national and global level will be answered in the test.

This sounds interesting.
Will this make fish much much cheaper?
Will it be easier to regulate since it is all data is stored? Are these companies more interested in regulation (since if theyve invested so much they may want longterm production)

#6Robo-servants at home.
Imagine not doing any mundane tasks at home (cooking, cleaning etc)
On the worse side : if there are robos at home. There will be sure outside in streets too. So we will have to figure out new jobs for ourselves.

People have been predicting this for 50 years. It turns out it's a really hard problem - I'm comfortable saying it's still much more than ten years away. We could possibly get fusion power before we get this the way things are going.

#8This is a bit cliched but does anyone think there should be a set of end of year predictions made/voted on by everyone on HN ?
It would certainly be a bit more interesting and informed than the average celebrity blogger predictions that we are usually subjected to.

You don’t think we already have the answer to that?

#10You ask for prediction, not wishes. So here goes:
We will have a major recession, much bigger impact than the previous one. This will curtail development. It’s possible climate effects will continue to become more severe. This could lead to human displacement in heavily populated Asian coastal towns. Will be compounded due to the recession.
Left wing and right wing polarization will grow and be compounded due to the above points. I don’t think there will be civil wars, but could be a tough situation in some parts of the world, especially Europe.
Technologically? I don’t think fully self driving cars will be a thing in 10 years. We could see regulations passed regarding social media companies. It could curtail the growth of a Facebook disruptor. We could see some changes in the financial industry due to the recession. But that still won’t change much for the industry.
What I wish:
Self driving cars. A Facebook disruptor. Mainstream crypto currency.
