Facebook buys Snapchat and Musically

Do you mean 2.5 or 3.5? Given you say 'back' I assume you mean 3.5mm. I ask as I always wondered why phones didnt move to 2.5 as they got thinner. This used to be the old nokia standard 10+ years back and I wondered if it would return.

That said I feel the better solution for iPhone (and more likely) is to put a lightning cable port on each end of the phone. This way people can use the port on top/bottom as suits their sound/power/data needs and it would suit a button-less screen only phones symmetry. Also it would let Apply designers satisfy the clear market demand while the're egos are maintained (which while unnecessary is often a factor in these things) by not saying they made a mistake and putting the jack back, but finding an alternate solution. A better one too I suspect.

Thinner phones wasn't the only reason to remove the headphone jack. It was also preventing the phone from being fully waterproof.

- A dockable mobile to desktop PC solution will gain traction. It's too obvious useful tool for someone not to do something good here.

- Increased digital or non-government currency options grow in popularity (probably bitcoin but maybe others). I suspect this will happen on the back of some financial crisis, probably market trust issues due to excessive debt.

my first ever project will be deployed as it is ready now... other than that:

The bubble of programing jobs will pop.
