I think we will get some “break throughs” in Quantum Computing that Google execs will assure us makes their company worth five trillion dollars.

the tech industry has repeatedly tried to get people interested in AR/XR tech. we also know the tech industry doesn't learn from its mistakes. So imo it will probably just try to continue pushing Ar/Xr until it sticks. also it's every tech executives dream to push push ready player one style ads everywhere you look.

AR/XR would probably do better if mid-range hardware it didn't cost 10x it's competitor's high-end products (all existing TVs and video games) while also having only 1 good app (Half Life: Alyx).
