      I think a lot of the changes will be in human-computer interfaces. Things like contact lenses instead of screens, controlling things with brain waves, more touch screens, more (and better) voice activation. There will also be computers in more parts of our lives, like computers controlling light and temperature in our homes. Or ads that become personalised when you walk past them. “Hey Picko12, want to buy some pizza? We know you love BBQ chicken!”

      Quantum computers will change the way we interact with information, but I think it will take longer than 10 years to get them really useful outside of research.
