-We won't use skycars or stuff like that. ENergy is too hard to come by.
-cities and businesses are increasingly planned to allow for the minimum physical movement required
-business & pleasure air traffic will continue
-personal transport will move to lighter vehicles. If it's just cutting the weight of a car in half.
-there will be a world-wide electrical network working on superconductors. Cheap energy can be provided on the other side of the world at night on a commercial basis, when the demand is low, and provided to other parts of the world. (On a commercial basis.)
-communication networks will improve so much that many server farms (if they exist in the form they do today) will work from other side of the globe.
-economy will be closer to real economy than today, and greater transparency and accountancy for financial derivatives.
-Rich will be bloody rich and the poor will be bloody poor (and there will be more poor), but the middle class, lower middle class and upper middle class will enjoy more sensible work conditions.
-general strong AI has not been found.
-reason why the humans have "cognition" and are sentient, have not been found, but it has been explained to death.
-Religions have trivialized themselves even much further than today.
-chance of God is given a more acceptable, academic possibility.
-best attempts at strong AI have been from inserting human-like androids to human world and letting them experience human society from ground up.
-the extreme high tech is insanely much more advanced today, especially when it comes to expert systems and specialized computer systems. There's still a strong anti-tech movement, with a large portion of the population having physical means of production.. being control of food production.. building the infrastructure etc. So the high tech people will continue to be divided to high- and low-wage jobs, as in universities on a low wage. Instead, the unintelligent group who holds menial jobs, will have ok wages.
-the lower portion of the population, in creativity, ability, etc. will just drag behind, they will not be greatly more enlightened compared to how they are now.
-there will be experiments with privatizing police, parts of army, personal security, on the account that there will be money made. Soon it will be found that safety, well-being and the non-necessity of having all those services privatized is valuable in themselves. In other words, there will be extreme tests on free market, and in some places, the end of the lesson will be sensible regulation. As in, someone extorting a person for their life will not be allowed, like it isn't now. How this all relates to protective and health care professions will be standardized, and some kind of solution will be found out. Medical Insurance companies will continue to exist.
