Broadband

Predictions
Fiber Optic Cable
I believe that a vast majority of future technology will rely heavily on broadband connections.  Because of this I also believe that these connections will become as commonplace as the telephone line is today.  Broadband products and services will increase in quality and drop in price just like all forms of new technology.  The internet will become faster and faster as the world wide network grows to incorporate nearly every household (in the U.S. at least).  As far as 'file sharing' goes, I think the industries it currently affects will eventually work out legal issues and bring the amount of illegal material being traded down to a reasonable level.
