Quantum computing. Too early to say anything but it's not impossible. And when it's around the corner, I can't really say what we will achieve. Just know it's something amazing. But for sure, you get a lightning fast computer to start with.
A step closer to time travel, but still a long way to go.
Intelligent robots? We're getting there. The age of "Terminator" may also follow but not before we give them a brain. Machinery evolution will still largely be sci-fi at least in the next 5 years or so?
New cures for old diseases. New diseases to add to our list. Mortality will decrease but will be aided by abusive and ignorant lifestyle.
Advanced technology to help us work, and also help us get lazy. Serious implications for health and wellbeing. I mean, some people take the lift from level 2 to level ... 3 at my uni.
An aging planet and the portending gloom by the current meteorological development. Doesn't matter if we're the ones to blame, we need to work on ways to deal with it and the anti-climate change groups aren't helping. They should get a hobby and stop printing nonsense pamphlets to save some trees.
New species to discover. We still don't know a lot about our own planet yet.
Admittedly, humans evolved to adapt to whatever changes that may occur that's why we're so defenceless in nature but our superior intellect fills in that gap. We need to stop clueless people from making policies, though.
