3. HoC Topics Future of internet of things and interconnected society
Umanitarian open source 
ML and NLP for medical diagnosis and learning in disease and discovering cure's
Advancement towards humanlike intelligence in computing 
Future of PCs and laptops and their usage, movement away from traditional computing
Review of computing in space program and speculate on Impact on space program if  1980s technology used 

4. HoC Topics
Review of computing in avionics (air and space craft) from embedded computing through first use of programming languages like Pascal and Ada in software to control aircraft.
Predicting the next step after mobile computing.
Your own Team Defined Topic

5. U Wash HoC Topics
Study the history of the use of computing in a particular application domain banking, Wall Street, aircraft design, etc.
Study the impact of computing on a particular aspect of society (entertainment, medicine, trade/commerce, politics).
Study the impact on computing of some major event (WW II, terrorism, the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, etc.).
Study a failed product, service, or prediction in computing. 
Describe a potential alternate history if some event had not influenced computing, if some company had behaved differently, if competition had turned out differently or if some device/algorithm/application/discovery had not occurred (e.g., the spreadsheet, the Web browser (ftp remains dominant)).
