This is the take I was looking for. There are a few things about human interaction that need to be supplemented with time offscreen, but I'm imagining the rich children of tomorrow getting on social media for the first time and immediately self-destructing in spectacular fashion, because they haven't learned any etiquette or rules of engagement. They'll try to get their careers started by finding traditional gatekeepers and hierarchies to bypass, but most of them will have been absorbed into networks. Their education will have a lot of book knowledge and not a lot of hands-on with any technical issues or real teams(increasingly likely to operate in remote fashion). They'll know other rich kids, but they are likely to be climbing over each other to keep up the status quo of a crumbling system. A good portion will spend their twenties reconstructing their entire world view.
Wealth and power will still certainly be a thing, but in such a dynamic, connected environment, a simple hereditary transfer of power is likely to become harder in many venues.
