Right now I'm thinking about a few things:
1. How the possibilities of Semantic technologies can be harnessed along with AI agents to enable smarter searching and filtering techniques for personal data collection and application. See Freebase
2. Can open source communities, which have been so successful in producing world class software (Linux, Blender, Wordpress), produce similarly world-class design and interface solutions? No great examples yet, but I think with the right tools and awareness/community this could happen. As an example of open-source's failure to do so, compare GIMP with the Adobe Suite.
3. I think programming (at least the basics) will become an essential, or at least very valuable, skill in the coming generations. What are the fundamental programming principles and techniques that could/should be taught in the mainstream school system from a young age, to encourage the building of this skill?
