Git — currently a "hackers tool" will, I feel, soon be incorporated into more and more mainstream products. There is already some work underway to integrate it into everyday programs. Imagine if you never had to worry about losing old versions of documents because they were always there. Imagine being able to split off projects, have different people all over the world work and contribute on them, and then recombine the changes as you wish. I see a big future for Git in the realm of document collaboration.

ZFS — We bet our livelihoods on a rotating magnetic platter, and all the layers of hardware and software in between. And we bet that it will never fail. With a proper backup schedule, ZFS could nearly eliminate data loss. Some of its features are: end to end checksums, guaranteeing that the data you read and write has not been effected by software or mechanical failures, transparent recovery from failed disks, nearly instant snapshots for unlimited "on disk backups". The list goes on and on
