I have a few dreams...

In a decade or two, we finally collectively realize that we do need secure general purpose computing, and adopt capability based security[1] widely. The resulting regained freedom to just try things results in a renaissance of the internet.

In a decade or two, it turns out that the bitgrid[2] actually does help give petaflop computing to the masses, dirt cheap.

In a decade or two, we figure out how to take an atomically flat surface, add a layer of semiconductor to it, then build transistors on it, one at a time, to make chips with the minimum possible sized fabrication system. This allows custom semiconductor production to be democratized.
