I claim that something will definitely eclipse 2020 (including covid, POTUS, and all other shenanigans). This century we will almost certainly get self driving cars, AGI, unprecedented biology advances, VR, etc... Secondary and tertiary effects of those technologies will have far reaching implications on the human civilization. The only alternative to getting most of those technologies is some kind of global crisis that significantly sets back humanity. So we either have crazy powerful technologies that upend status quo way of life or a catastrophe that destroys everything.
