- People will realise that Apple can't be cool without Steve Jobs.(After the Watch fails to impress anybody).

- Something cool related to Wearables/Motion Sensing will happen. I think the next thing would be Google open-sourcing Glass hardware and Facebook using Oculus Rift technology for something other than gaming.

- Paul Graham will write a number of pretty cool essays. [He does this every year, no surprises :P]

- Privacy will become more mainstream. After apps like DarkMail are introduced, Google and the other players will start to reconsider privacy and we, the people will gain.

- Functional programming will be at a better state. Currently, it's rather under-rated and programmers are rather confused about how to treat it.

- Swift will be open-sourced and we'll see Cross Platform support for it.

- I will sleep less. That's my resolution for this year.

I am very doubtful about the privacy thing. The core problem I see is economical. People will use free messaging (E-Mail, WhatsApp, etc), but the usual business model "Ads" does not work well with end-to-end encryption.
