FPGA, they've definitely become more approachable and moved into the class of development tools that can be utilised by people new to FPGA's and a reality for home developers!

The others didn't get a look in on account of not been relevant!

IoT = disorganised fragmented unguided mess! It's lacking any standardisation, design guidelines, an actual solid definition of what the title even means and focus seems to revolve around predicting security issues rather than developing functional devices.

Wireless charging = charging mats have been around for 15 years. There's a good chance that wireless charging and wire free devices will go through some advancements leading to new concepts and ways to provide power. (wireless speaker, keyboards, mice, game controllers being powered remotely without the need of batteries). Maybe some other year!

Wearable tech = Another one that's gonna have to go through some innovations and present new concepts for it to be seen as technology of the year material... watches, headphones, pedometers, sports watches, headsets... they aren't new concepts, they've been around forever n are pretty mundane. Even the whole google glasses type things have been tried before, plus their popularity is reflected by the fact that nobody wears them. People tend towards things that are functional when they have to encumber their body with technology.
