In economic terms, we've reached 'peak people'.

It takes the a fraction of the manpower to maintain the current level of human culture, traditions, knowledge, and capabilities. Technology and the arts have accelerated so much in such a short time that we're running out of creative, original ideas faster than the masses can consume them.

Coding will remain relevant but most other jobs related to the day-to-day maintenance of mankind's existence will be automated out of existence.

Not unless we can solve the energy problem. The reality we've known all our lives is not a sustainable trend.

Sustaining human life, especially in 'developed' nations requires a lot more than energy.

People focus on energy, technology, and conservation as the solution. It's like trying to patch a bullet wound with a band-aid. Nothing saves resources more effective than reducing the population and the overall human population is still growing at a dramatic rate.
