The search term you're looking for is "Emerging technology". Focus on the field(s) that are of interest to you, since there are too many technologies to keep track of everything. Read up on the technologies that look interesting.

You can also look into what futurologists write, since it's their job to try and understand where emerging technologies are going, and what their implications are going to be. I have found this blog, by futures studies researcher Roey Tzezana, helpful. You can try looking for others.

Look also at popular science magazines, like "Scientific American". They would give you an idea of the research being done right now, and the developments it could lead to.
