Most of the guy’s predictions seem very pie in the sky, but these three I think are actually quite likely to come to pass:
“* Around the 2030s, tiny “nanobots” able to repair and preserve our organs will keep us healthier and smarter.”
A bit far-fetched, but probably not incorrect. We’re already seeing work with molecule-sized ‘switches’ in electronics, and a microscopic robot that could be designed to perform certain medical tasks doesn’t seem out of bounds. I don’t know about ‘smarter’ though.
“*3D printing will be even more common than it is today, with public 3D printing stations for people to print out clothes, toys, and anything else.”
I think this is very possible. It might not be a “public” place like a kinko’s so much as a proprietary device owned by a chain, but I can see this one coming to pass.
“* Within 25 years, computers will be the size of a blood cell and we’ll be able to connect it to the brain without the need for surgery.”
Again, I think this is possible in the next couple decades. What that mini-computer will be able to do is the real question.

And how will you re-boot it when it crashes?!
