The IPv4 pool really is shrinking, which is already encouraging smaller IPv6 deployments. Even if a wide-scale deployment of IPv6 is a long ways off, mixed deployments are already happening. So studying up on it (especially how mixed environments are handled), paying attention to which network related modules support IPv6 and which ones don't, etc. seems worthwhile. I wouldn't spend a lot of time on it, but I also wouldn't just ignore it anymore.

Regarding HTML5, you really missed the mark on this one -- sites are already using HTML5 e.g. to stream videos without using Flash. A common one is streaming video to iPhone and iPad users, but e.g. YouTube also uses it to stream video to Chrome. Most of the browsers out there already have some form of support and Internet Explorer 9 will have HTML5 support. Take a look at this web designer checklist (scroll down past the CSS3 sections). I think you underestimated how consumer devices are driving fairly rapid HTML5 adoption. Lack of Flash support on the iPhone in particular may have helped accelerate things.

As for PowerShell, that's only relevant to Windows developers and sysadmins, though I'm surprised you never heard of it, given that one of the goals is to make it possible to use the commandline to do things that used to require a GUI (the way it is implemented reminds me of AREXX). If you want to learn more, check out Windows PowerShell.
