I can't provide a theory of everything, but I can predict the future:

- The application paradigm will come to an end.

- All apps will be replaced by a general purpose interactive language.

- We will realize NLP doesn't work.

- 80% of software jobs will disappear within the next 15 years.

- Privacy will be revealed as foolish and selfish.

- Transparency will become the norm within the next 30 years.

- Money will be replaced with a social score/currency. Honesty, consistency and predictability will be the most valued traits.

Privacy is not foolish or selfish, and despite the ongoing momentum in decreasing levels of personal privacy, is an extremely precious and valued human desire and resource.

Why do you think 80% of software jobs will disappear? Won't there be many more new jobs for people in the industry to transition into?
