* Mobile phones eat even more of the world. (i.e. people have fewer hobbies, and spend even less time doing anything else except using their phone) * Augmented reality glasses become commonplace and people care more about what the world looks like in their glasses, than what real life looks like. * The ability to resist mobile phones (and AR glasses) becomes the best indicator of future success in life. * There are no new discoveries in Physics. Dark matter and Dark Energy still make no sense (i.e. have no explanation), but are still held onto as theories. * Non-computer progress slows down, both because software development is so easy, and because the green revolution means hardly anyone wants to make things anymore. * The world because more conservative as a backlash to the current ascendancy of liberalism. * The world becomes more peaceful, with even fewer wars, and fewer people living without basic needs. (Because physical items like food become so cheap even fewer people lack it.) * The current business model for TV collapses. Something else emerges that is not based around a 3 hour block of drama and comedy. * There are no autonomous self driving cars. But there are trials on "rail road" like trails for cross country trucking. (i.e. trucks autonomously drive on highways, sharing with human controlled traffic, but not into cities) * Humans do not land on the moon or mars. But there are more humans in orbit than before.
