This was easier than I thought. I’ll flesh this out (and change my mind) over the coming months, but here’s the current list.

1. Mass intimacy
2. Augmented reality
3. Cloud services
4. Baking
5. Moral philosophy
6. Cuddly robots
7. Photovoltaics
8. Gameification
9. Ethically inclined fish
10. Near field communication

Note: This list is in no way ranked and, as always, does not represent the most important trends, merely new things that I find interesting or old things that are gaining momentum.
