Well, we're already seeing it happen, but I suspect we'll continue to see social media services decline due to the rise of AI and general burnout with the concept. Twitter is on a decline, Facebook is definitely on a decline, Reddit and Discord feel less active than they used to be and people are feeling disheartened with stuff like Instagram too.
I feel like people are going back towards smaller scale communities, or even offline ones in general.
Tech wise, I don't have many predictions though. From what I can tell, the answer there is "more options open up", and that's about it. If you want to work with pure HTML alone, that's still possible and people still do that. If you want to work with Perl or PHP or Python or Ruby or whatever, then that's still possible too. I don't think we'll ever see a total revolution in what tech people use there, because no existing tech completely dies out.
I do worry about the job market here though. We've seen a huge flood of people joining the tech industry due to the salaries and appeal of an 'easy' life, and we're seeing more and more solutions that remove the need for a development team altogether (especially now AI is getting better). I kinda suspect wages are going fall rather rapidly at some point, and that the bottom end of the market might slowly start fading away.
