I think we will see the end of the general promotion type webmaster. The industry is already changing over to automating anything and everything. Give it 10 more years. Traffic services auto integrate into your program, through your phone you can turn on and off traffic or move it to other locations, the ideas are already endless.
Ipods, palms, cell phones, etc.. Those will be information, news, music, email, etc. They will all come the key holders for that exact type of media, news & info. People need and want privacy on subjects such as porn and masturbation. Porn will stay strong on the home PC front.
VISA, already is becoming less of a threat to the industry. Yes, if they pulled this second it would hurt most of us, but we would still be around. We already have so many different alternate billing solutions, if VISA pulled, something else would become the standard. That's now and even more so 10 years from now.
The GOV, is already fucked when it comes to the adult industry. They are 10 years behind understand what we are doing now and the gap is getting even larger. Another 10 years and we will be such a broad industry, it won't be touchable.
What will attack us? The media. We fraud, scam, steal ids, sell credit card info, etc.. While I think this type of crap will increase, it isn't our industry doing it, however it will be pushed as if it is us. What will save us? The fact that most of us don't do it, so a trust level has been built and will continue to grow, however the media will continue to try to hurt us.
The industry will change in many areas of course. Just like 10 years ago, we were making money with different items, sites, theories, etc.. We now have more ways to make money than any one single business could ever manage. This will expand us into areas we can't even dream of yet.
Interactive videos, wave of the future.
