I always enjoy the research from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.  They are out with their latest survey about the trends that will shape the future – The Future of the Internet III.  It is lengthy (138 pages) but full of interesting things including pointing out a handful of trends/predictions as we march towards 2020.  Here's a few highlights:

• The mobile device will be the primary connection tool to the Internet
• How we interact with the internet will continue to evolve with broader acceptance and use of both voice & touch interfaces
• Transparency of both people and organizations will increase as the amount of information and people able to access it increases
• The lines between personal and work time and physical and virtual reality will continue to blur and the implications of constant connectivity and its impact on social relations will be "mixed"
