Computers will be multicore and multigig. Yes, I know that in 2001 you could buy a quad core server, but most computers sold were single core. Old software will have to be rewritten to take adavantage of computers with 256 cores. The hard drive will be museum tech, SSD will replace HD. It is much faster uses less electricity and has no moving parts.
Interesting predictions! Here's some tech stuff I know of what we have so far.
Computers are currently becoming quantum (happening although in Government sectors only currently). The computer interface is currently able to be controlled via neural interface (brainwaves (happening)). As for harddrives Solid state is the only way to go, but I also heard from a person at my work that there is a company working on integrating storage into the processor as its cache, and it will be allocatable as both ram and storage.... THAT would be nice.
Something you might already know, or be interested in is the Japanese technology of midair lasers -
This will be useful for public/workgroup displays (FBI/NSA/Presentations/etc).
Google glass is currently (supposedly) working on creating a neural interface for the Glass. No keyboard/voice commands/mouse required.
