Technology trends are often difficult to nail down because, well, it's astonishingly hard to predict the future. But there are indicators from 2017 that point pretty strongly to what we can expect to see in the technology sector next year.

If even half of these trends expand beyond where they're at right now, then we're in for a very exciting year.
