Comment on Ask HN: What will be the tech trends in 2019?

Comments

I think crypto is dead, and not coming back. I also think ML will continue to be a big thing, and a lot of startups will center around that. I don't think VR will make it big until the next generation of consoles. I don't think people really care about AR at all. The IoT space will continue to grow, and take over more and more things. I think autonomous delivery systems will be combined with food delivery services.

Wish: Really hoping flying drone delivery, but don't foresee that for a while. If Amazon can figure out a good way for a robot to pick out food, then you could literally order the food on your phone, it can be picked out from a warehouse/grocery, picked up by a flying drone, and delivered directly to your house or wherever you currently are. I really want this service.

Crypto is dead

Agreed. I think 2019 will be the giant finale. Think tons of scandals, SEC shenanigans, and one big nail in the coffin to finish it all off (probably will be something related to how China has over 51% of the mining compute power).
