Next innovations in finance?

In 1970 there were no options, no financial futures, no swaps, no electronical trading, etc. In the 80's the financial world was dominated by corporate raiders (i.e. takeovers) and also during those years the LBO appeared. 

Lot of people say that technology and entrepreneurship is the way to go now, but do you have any unpopular opinion or forecasts about which would be the next trends in finance (5, 10, 15 years) that could make finance as great - or greater - than what it was during the 80's or pre-2008?

Interested to hear opinions on this.
