Just wanted to get people's thoughts on which fields of EE will have the most innovations/breakthroughs in the next few years
 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emerging_technologies#Electronics

Personally I'd put my money on energy-related things (thin film solar, battery technology, fuel cells etc) since a lot of commercial pressure will be on there to reduce dependence on fossil fuels etc. Read: many research groups, different angles, lots of funding, some of it fundamental research, some of it research to improve existing products / production methods.

And generally things resulting from new materials / better understanding of those. Think solid state lighting, semiconductors, optical computing, graphene, nanomaterials, ...?

Of course the essential thing about innovations/breakthroughs is that sometimes you can see where research is heading, and sometimes discoveries come out of the blue. So there's no way to tell what the future will bring... :shock::-D
