My two cents:
Tech:
- WASM makes huge inroads. it just does.
- Agents and privacy / anti-data collection start to make real dents into FAANG dominance. Services will exist to not stop data being collected about you, but to use that data to help / guide you. Massive Open Online Psychology (moop) will measure your behaviour at home or work and suggest improvements (Therapist / life coach as a service)
- Government provided public private keys will be the new passports, but at least majority of people have secure online identities that are mostly consistent - being anonymous online becomes socially suspect. It also means bots become waaay harder to run on services like FAANG - and there is a corresponding point at which the pressure to turn off accounts that do not have a passport becomes irresistible and the 50% cut in user base for at least one of them causes share price collapse
- The flaws underlying Self driving car business model becomes obvious : cars are good enough for perfect conditions but never quite make the liability sweet spot - they kill enough people on shared roads that the manufacturer liabilities become impossible and the only solution is to have separate road networks. This new railway, has the same safety record as todays rail, but same costs (basically unaffordable without massive subsidies). Warehouses are built on this network and there is a huge industry in the last mile delivery problem - humans taking over trucks for driving through cities probably from central "mission control" areas like remote pilots
- construction industry moves dramatically to prefabricated models - this has huge impact in emerging markets but also produces new commuter enclaves - cheap housing outside normal urban areas, but with automated car access effectively free public transport from house to city entry points. The ability to remove car ownership creates a value virtuous circle.
