Lets play a game where we guess the future.

AI use

1. AI will be used on a mass scale to create mass surveilance of all internet and all daily life through smart cameras.
Or
2. It wont

Technology

1. Technology will liberate humans from labor by replacing human workers with robots.
Or
2. It wont

War

1. The world will be forced into another great war due to struggle for power.
Or
2. It wont

Humans unnecessary as workers or thinkers

1. With the development of AI, humans become essentially unnecessary as workers or thinkers.
Or
2. They dont

Mass poverty

1. Due to development of technology, there will be mass poverty since human labor becomes less significant in production, thus less paid.
Or
2. There wont

Mass stupidity

1. Due to the great amount of fake information which masses are given every day, as well as distractions from logical thinking, what will follow is mass stupidity.
Or

Okay, and I will play because the future is pretty obvious and this will be focused on events up until 2030

1. AI

AI takes an immense amount of energy and will be working the power grid pretty hard. I would expect to see stocks of energy companies go up significantly and for there to be a large push to finally go nuclear, so also invest in nuclear energy companies  best poised to build in the silicon Valley area.

2. Robots

No significant impact on labor going into 2030, but by 2045 we will need to see serious border security, because the second human labor gets replaced, we will need a universal basic income, which we cannot have with open borders. 

3. War

The middle east will stabilize more, because Trump will be president and Israel is approaching drone technology that can literally go into a battlefield and just simultaneously shoot out like 10 simultaneous perfect bullets to kill terrorists without much fuss or collateral damage. You see some lesser versions of this technology currently deployed in Ukraine with footage of that war surfacing 

4. Human thinking

Working was already covered, but thinking will become more of an echo chamber. The future of the internet is a replacement of web browsers with all kn one apps. 

Christians will have an app that is a social network of them and other Christians with Christian based stores etc. Christian videos.


You can see X.com anticipating this future a bit and attempting to be the first all in one app because they know this is coming, but expect many rivals to Twitter for these all in one apps to replace web browsers. 


Poverty

It Wil be reduced by soylent like drinks becoming the norm. 3 drinks a day to meet all of your daily nutrient needs made from a powdered substance that has all essential vitamins and nutrients in  perfect macro amounts. 

Those Africans may suck at farming and hunting but it will no longer matter thanks to soylent like substances that will be produced cheaply and widely distributed. 

Mass stupidity

Already covered when talking about Brower replacements, but actually moving further in those hive minds may be good. You can go so far that the arguments start centering around nuances that force you to adapt better critical thinking skills.

Well, sure, but we already have pills and drinks for that. I am quite certain there are some drinks out there which can give you lots of calories. Well, people had alcohol and juice for thousands of years. I am sure they have some high calorie drinks now, such as protein drinks. Kitchen oil has bunch of calories, like 600 per 100 milliliters. The only problem is taste, but people usually mix it with something. So thats more of a present than it is future.
