that Google will be adding all sort of 'sensors' to the cameras and microphones using a special DSP chip to process the information. You won't just have voice commands, but you will be able to make gestures with your hands in an ASL type of control using the camera. It would come in handy for the deaf and possible it can translate ASL into text as well for faster typing. Non-Verbal commands I think is what they might call it. There will most likely be ASIC chips added for SHA-256 hashing so it could process Bitcoin mining and solve SHA-256 hashes for other reasons as well.
most Cable TV subscribers have the "Basic Package" of $20/month or whatever of 20 to 40 channels they hook up an old analog SD TV into without a box. They couldn't even figure out those HD encoder coupons or why they needed an encode for local TV. If the signal is scrambled and encrypted for the OTA channels they won't know what is happening and will call up the Cable company complaining about signal reception problems.
Yeah you need a box, we'll rent you one for $X/month, they'll claim. They'll send the box, and the customer won't figure out how to hook it up. Then the cable company will send a contractor out for $300 to install it for them. At that point they will just cancel cable TV because it is too expensive and complex to figure out.
You see Cable TV makes a lot of money with the basic subscription that only needs a coaxial cable installed for each TV because it is the simplest of ways to connect to watch TV and also the cheapest. People don't want Satellite because it needs a box, and also a Dish to align, and when it rains the signal is out. People don't want U-verse because it needs an Internet connection and also needs boxes and if the Internet connection goes out so does their TV signal. The basic cable setup is the cheapest and the simplest and it also works with old analog TV sets that are "cable ready". If the cable company complicates that by requiring a box, they will actually lose customers, and thus lose income.
For a majority of your customers, try to make it as simple as possible for them to install your service and use it.

We went from mainframes to minicomputers to desktop computers or PCs to mobile devices. Right now we are in the Post-PC era, where the PC is still used but mobile devices are the new tech. In the Post-Mobile device era will we have neurochips implanted in our heads, or perhaps something else?
