I will go with most 'outrageous' predictions I can think of:

- 2022 a year of Linux desktop

- Dynamic typing becomes niche technology choice

- 'Green course' becomes less popular due high energy prices

- West decreases trade with China by a substantial amount

- Russia invades a country without admitting that

- Windows 11 becomes even more user hostile and less 'Pro'

- iPhone grabs more market share in developed world

- Laws around refugees become more strict internationally

- Matrix, Signal become mainstream. I think its close already and next year will be a breaking point.

- More substantial AI adaptation/innovation in audio engineering space

- More substantial AI adaptation/innovation in anti bot space in online spaces like social media

- Governments start to open more data

This guy's predictions were actually pretty good, even many that missed were better-than-random correct in the right direction, e.g. the AI one
