Low code. There's two types: Writing less code, and cutting the lines of code in the code stack. The latter involves writing more code, and is a response to the low code trends so far.

2020 was the year of offline to online technology, and we'll see new things emerge from this. Things like video and remote conversation/management might finally get adopted, as well as contactless payment.

More ethical/privacy focus. Platforms (e.g. iOS, Mozilla, and Android) are clamping down hard on things like cross-tracking. Businesses that learn to make money without selling their users are going to do well.

Some AI products will start to emerge. My bet is on GPT-3 actually being useful.
