My Predictions for the Next Decade

Right before 2010 began, I made a set of thematic predictions about 2020 and then backed them up with 86 specific claims. Having just reviewed and graded my now decade-old calls, it is time to make a new batch of predictions for 2030. 

The optimist in me believes that having already done this exercise once as an adult, my hit rate on predictions should be higher for the coming decade. The pessimist in me worries that my age and experience is clouding my ability to see clearly what a world full of nearly 50-year-old millennials will look like.
