The world doesn’t move as quickly as people would like to think. The original iPhone came out in 2007, just 14 years ago. Before that, people weren’t so connected despite the internet being around for 14 years at that point.
2050 is just 27 years away. Funny how my realistic predictions got voted down as if people are expecting flying cars and teleportation by 2050. Laughable.

Phones will be replaced by visors with AR built in. The visors will link to our work and home computers and be able to share info… OS operated through hand swiping and finger mechanics.
Suburbs will be more crowded than before. Advertisements will be everywhere, viewable through the visors. People will be able to sell their hyperspace (AR equivalent of real world space) as ad space, accessible only through the visors.
Cars will all be electric. No more gas stations.
Fewer public spaces for big crowds. Fewer movie theaters, supermarkets, etc.

It’s all a very negative outlook on the world. People born in the 1920s May have thought the same about the sexual Revolution or the 60s that people born in the early 50s brought about. Was it really so terrible in the context of the greater history?
I doubt it.
