Everyday electronics and something else...

-Touchscreens is a must. Especially with public computers.
-Cellphones have not changed a lot from what they are today. Perhaps just new models. There might be a faster wireless communication protocol than today.
-Internet is everywhere.
-There are still a lot of gasoline powered cars. The change is not that fast, although fuelcell powered cars are much more common than today.
-USA is still occupying Middle East (the reason being still about the publicly terrorists, but really about oil), but there are violent riots in the US agains military operations. The return-to-moon-program is one way to turn the heads of US citicens to something else.
-There has been a revolution in China mostly because Tibet-incident. A lot of civil wars.

I think devices such as mouse and keyboard are still around in personal computers. they might look different, but will definetely be around. In public computers however, touchscreens have became common and they might be found from bus stops, bars, restaurants, movie theaters, etc.. People will still be using bikes, maybe even more than today because of the gas prices.

Almost all posters (nowdays stapled somewhere) will be replaced with flat screens, that shows them (posters) in arranged order. Someone mentioned directed advertising (or something like that) and I think that it will mostly be similar to e-mail spam messages today; most people will hate it.

Almost all of today's devices will be around, but in new covers. Mobile phones will still be mobile phones and I really mean phones.. I don't think that video calls will ever be a hit in mobile market. There will be Playstation 7 and X-Box 4860 and Nintendo Horay and they will compete against traditional computers in various ways, but everyone, who has some brains, still thinks that only thing that consoles are better in, are platform jumping games.

You have some idea there. If thinking of 2018 lots of the stuff is same, but there is new stuff sneaked into our environment. The houses we are living are still there, but then there is some new and fancy ones. Some of the electronics which we use currently are still available, but when thinking of the current lifespan of the electronic devices most of the equipment were using now are replaced by newer ones. Maybe feature wise there are not that many new things in electronic devices we use currently, but the design probably has received some new trends.
