Forget the iPhone, the near-distant future may be a world of infinite potential for technological achievement yet a danger of paradigm shift so great it could change civilization as we perceive it today.
GNR
The time is now for the revolution of the emerging and converging technologies of the early 21st century technology:
GNR-(Genetics, Nanotech, and Robotics) or NBIC (Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno) Perhaps most interestingly to me personally, Cognotech (advanced neurotechnology) could unlock the key to "hacking" our own consciousness. The flipside to this is it will be possible to literally "get inside someone's head" as well. These descendants of the Industrial Revolution and the Digital Age could make anything possible.
GNR is so powerful it could easily potentially destroy the 85-95% of the human population; implementing the extreme population control as advocated by Malthusian eugenicists worldwide. Like antimatter, it also has the capability to destroy the entire planet. Genetic tech could lead to advanced medicine practice, minimizing nearly all health problems. Nanotech, would integrate or converge with all other technologies; and could revolutionize everyday (literally) down to even mundane minutiae. Getting a shot at the doctor's would no longer sting, because it would now be essentially noninvasive. A nanobot will now adminster the medicine.
A nanobot inside the body could help healing processes like repairing cells
Robotics, especially AI (artificial intelligence), could metamorphosize work, war, weapons and beyond. At the true cutting edge of IT, Quantum computers would be virtually completely secure; as well as make the most powerful conventional supercomputers of research facilities seem like an antiquated, early home computing-era desktop PC.
It would be wise to advise that not only do these converging technologies hold the key to the future; but may also be the door to a utopian or dystopian global society. GNR can either unlock mankind's true potential or seal its fate. Advanced tech could make our lives longer and more enjoyable but it could also enslave the entire race in a total dicatatorial police state - governed by high-tech surveillance and profiling. Even now, America's armed forces are using increasingly large amounts of UAVs (Unmanned Air Vehicles) and UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles). The DoD and other military forces have the military-industrial complex busy as a beehive building full armies of these drones. AI will become so advanced that by 2015, drones may compose the majority of the force.

The Technological Singularity & Transhumanism
Many futurists, researchers, sci-fi authors, and technophiles have all anticipated and referred to a technological "singularity". This singularity is the theory that, according to the exponential rate that technologies are advancing at, the birth of transhumanism will make history. In the words of the World Transhumanist Foundation, "We support the development of and access to new technologies that enable everyone to enjoy better minds, better bodies and better lives." In theory, with the use of these converging technologies, this singularity will make people god-like and literally immortal. With the combination of AI , cognotech such as brain-computer interfaces, advances in health through biotech, genetics, and molecular engineering, the singularity's blueprint for the transhuman is here & now.

The singularity theory, a massive paradigm shift, requires extremely accelerated change. It's already here though, Moore's Law may already be obsolete. Commentators on all this have mentioned these events could develop so quick we could face a cinematic-like scenario of man vs. machine.
