Back in 1967, a film was made depicting what life might be like in 1999 (32 years hence).
All in all, I believe the short film nailed it in many respects. The makers of the film were very prescient in predicting what life was actually like in 1999.
Now let's imagine what life might be like in the year 2053 (just 32 years from now).
I watched The Jetson’s as a kid, they were very prescient on how the future would look.

Nothing broken this end...
I'm still waiting on my flying car, it should have been here by now.
SOP for all of my memes
How do I dupe this ?
The tech exists but do you really think that the politicians and the insurance companies and the manufacturers are ever going to allow individually owned flying cars with our DUI population? If the DUI’ers have issues with driving on a 4 dimensional plane(length, width, depth, and timing) just imagine the accidents when DUI’ers can’t contend with 5-6 dimensional space(length, width, height, depth, timing,and perhaps course or heading).
The FAA would try to assert juristiction....oh it would be just a mess!
Rd later.
When I was a boy (50s-60s) our fathers worked and our mothers stayed home. It was a neighborhood of 1000 sq ft houses with no AC. Each family had one car. A restaurant meal was a once-a-month treat. Everybody mowed their own yard. One TV per household (or none). No gym membership fees. Of course, no cell phone bill, no cable bill. Vacations were spent tent camping - no excursions to Hawaii, Cancun, Europe.
I'm not saying that our currency hasn't been debased and that taxation hasn't become onerously excessive but anyone who chose to live that way now could probably rely on one breadwinner.
