* 3D Printing; Everything from spare parts for electronics, to printing Vinyl Records(already has been done) will be a huge breakthrough.  This may not be in 2013, as the cost of the printer will need to come down, but 3D printing is here to stay.  Read more, thanks to Ingre Geerdens, here: Printing a Better World in 3D... 

FUTURISM: 
* Wireless power may not eliminate the chord all together, but once something can charge from further than a few inches, chords will drastically be reduced.  More on wireless power here, courtesy of Will Ferguson over at News.NationalGeographic.com, here: Wireless Power Advancements...
