1) developers won't be needed anymore (https://medium.com/thron-tech/as-a-service-offering-is-chang...) 2) population decline will be huge, but not for the reasons most ppl talk about. It will be because we will reach a "good enough" sex robot and that will end most physical relationships between sexes 3) there will be just one or two languages in the whole world, with a huge loss in diversity from a culture standpoint 4) we will be augmented with tech and bio implants to enhance our perceptions (better sight and hearing). Genetical imperfection will be only for poor people 5) cars will be disappearing in favor of "transportation pods" that will act as "transport-as-a-service" elements. 6) HUGE wars will arise because of the crisis in capitalims. Work won't be a reason to get a salary anymore, this will lead to the biggest social crisis ever and many more... but i'll stop here :D

> there will be just one or two languages in the whole world

In fifty years? Lots of people currently breathing will be alive in fifty years. Even if, starting tomorrow, every single baby was brought up speaking English or Chinese, there will still be lots of old people speaking other languages fifty ears from now.

Ive long said that a good enough/affordable sex robot is more dangerous to the western civilization than literally any weapon of mass destruction.

I want a scifi novel where those "good enough sex robots" end up being dropped into foreign countries as a weapon of mass depopulation.
