Some of those were fairly vague and with the appliance prediction, he surely meant fridges, stoves, and TV's rather than phones. Otherwise he got some of those right on.

With the wireless charging of cars making advances, I'm sure that the appliances in your home will benefit, too.

Don't see that tech. applied to cars, without making them too big/expensive.

Most of those were just extrapolations of stuff that was around and not that much of a stretch.

Would you need to have your appliances charged wirelessly though? It's not like they move around a whole lot, and I don't think you would see much of a benefit from removing the plug from behind your washer and dryer. They still need to be hooked up to get water and let the hot air 'drain'. It is a cool concept though.

Wireless energy receivers on your TV, fridge, air con., small kitchen appliances are a great idea, as you could put them anywhere you want, instead of near a socket, like now.

Not applied to cars. Think about it if you can fly to work your car is not on the road. There for that is taking a car off the road. It's a bit of a stretch but not too much of one.

Eh, that's what extension cords are for. Though I can see how it would work with smaller appliances, but with the larger ones they are already limited by their size and/or other hookups.

Not that easy, as mid term future is sometimes harder to predict, than distant future.
