Horizon Report Technologies

I think I was expecting more from the Horizon report.  For a lot of the technologies, like 3-D printing and wearable technology, I immediately felt like it was interesting but not applicable to the classes I teach.  Yes, some of it might be, like MOOCs, but mostly it was not all that helpful for me.  I feel like our team tech talks have been far more useful in introducing me to technology that would benefit me in the future.  

Has anyone ever published reports that maybe delineate the technologies out there and the relative ease with which they might be integrated into different sorts of classroom environments?  My biggest worry about technology is trying to keep up with it all and then figuring out whether I even need to care about or consider some of it for my classroom at all.
