Immortality will be cracked.
Millions of drones in the air at any one time.
There will be no discernible difference between night and day for virtually any human activity.
Seasons will be irrelevant.
We may have actual space elevators by then.
It will not be compatible with “unaltered” human beings - both physically and intellectually speaking.
Distance will be irrelevant.
There will be long term colonies on the bottom of the ocean as well as antarctica. There will probably be the same on the moon, mars and perhaps other moons within our solar system. And thanks to 3D printed Graphene they will be mostly simple inflatable “buildings”. Even when exposed to the vacuum of space. Space stations could be similarly constructed.
There will be lots of high speed underground tube transportation. Oil will be cheap, not only because it is abundant but because solar power will be cheaper and more efficient. There will be almost (if not literally) NO reason to go to a particular place to perform your job unless it requires physical interaction with other people.
The walls of every room in your living space will be ultra high definition floor to ceiling 3D video monitors giving you the ability to “think” you are anywhere in the world you want to be - or on a space station or on Mars. In fact, it could be a live “webcast” from anywhere in the world at the press of a button. Visit downtown Paris at night and then immediately switch to a beach in Hawaii. Ride with a man in his glider. Visit the great barrier reef. All in souround vision in 3D and in real time.
Most people will get their sexual pleasure without the involvement of another human being.
IOW, I expect the Lord to return in less than 50 years.
WOW They perfected the Orgasmatron Finally!!
I think drones will be common, I’ll order a case of beer and it will be delivered.
Drones, with 8 props will be scaled up for transportation and you will call for one just like a taxi, you won’t have to learn to fly, just tell it where you want to go.
Thorium will be the energy source.
The population will shrink in just about every country.
People will live in a more rural neighborhood, have more free time and property large enough to have a climate controlled greenhouse for most of your produce.
3D print stores will be abundant, making artisans and designers in demand.
Transportation will take to the air lessoning our dependence on roads and unions. Politicians will have to listen to the little people instead.
Our phones will replace our wallet and our phone number will be our lifelong ID.
It will be pretty much the opposite of what Al Gore and Al Queda want.
