I'm not sure what will happen or when, but what I become most concerned about is over-reliance on things just working. What I mean is, humans not doing something for themselves to the point of helplessness when things go wrong. Whole generations expecting a car to drive them around and AI assistants on smartphones answering every question and whim.
Then the self driving car malfunctions when driving through a remote area with no data network on the smartphone device. I picture the person curling up and crying. Seriously though, I hope us humans stay in touch with how to operate in the world outside of tech.
It could make for an interesting scenario if the most 'advanced' humans extinct themselves through having fewer and fewer kids then having a collapse of the tech that is relied so heavily on. The humans who still know how to have kids and operate in nature would win out. Seems unlikely now, but we've only been doing this modern tech life for a blip in history. I won't be surprised if it falls apart at some point.
