I think new inventions in 10 years would have some inventions inspired by games, like the Pip boy 3000 from Fallout, I read that they are working on making a working one.

Lol'd at this thread because it implies we won't blow ourselves up in the next decade.

Anyways, I don't think there will be many new innovations, just improvements; more efficient cars, faster computers, stronger building materials and methods, more effective medical technology, and so on.

Actually, I take that back- I just remembered watching a video of IBM's new Watson computer playing a practice round of Jeopardy!, which I found to be pretty impressive; sure, it seems simple- in fact, I imagine that it can boil down to a voice recognition system which provides input to a massive search engine- but it's still damn impressive. It seems like computers' ability to process information and respond to human inquiries gets sharper by the day. Maybe it won't be long until we have a computer that can pass the Turing test.
