Most of the members consider bitcoin as major currency of future. Let us assume that it will be accomplished one day, but before that, I wonder which spheres of our everyday life will adapt bitcoin first?

Especially in online payment systems can be used very comfortably. Today we buy everything online. For example, I can use bitcoin to migros accept payments. I can buy what I need for my kitchen shopping on the internet. Once payments made with Bitcoin have been approved, orders can be brought up to the door.
Bitcoin is maybe the future online payment processor , i agree that it is very comfortably use and some of online shops now are using bitcoin as their payment processor. In the future online shops will use bitcoin too , they will realize the comfortability of it.

Bitcoin may be the only payment system for internet environment in the future. It may even be an official currency for online transactions. Because of the advantages it provides, it can eliminate other payment systems.
Companies will want to use bitcoin, especially since they are not taxed.

I seriously doubt bitcoin will be huge when it comes to online shopping, it may be successful with major retailers like Amazon, but even in this case I'm skeptical.

People can't even keep their email accounts safe and remember their password, imagine keeping private keys safe...

Plus there is the issue of fees, it is much more expensive to use bitcoin than Paypal, and there are no benefits in using bitcoin like consumer protection or free returns when compared with Paypal which is a major online shopping payment system

There are a number of web wallets available to everyone that do their job pretty well

And most of them pay the transaction fees for their clients at that. But please don't tell me that it is against the principles of Bitcoin or anything to that tune to use these wallets. It should be evident and straightforward that the people you are talking about (which, according to you, "can't even keep their email accounts safe and remember their password") wouldn't be using Bitcoin anyway (if there were no web wallets around), whether such use follows Bitcoin principles or opposes them
