What do you think the world will be like 50 years from now, in the 2070s?

And specifically, what kind of tech do you think will surprise to the upside by that time, and become pretty dominant or ubiquitous? And what tech do you think will underperform expectations, and not exist at the scale that people now might’ve guessed would be common by then?

Biomedical engineering will be the upside surprise. Cloning organs and boosting natural recovery is highly marketable.

Space exploration will underperform the farther it departs from earth. Mars rocks will sell for 10x fuel cost to import. Million dollar rocks will become status symbols: the Jones have a Martian coffee table that weighs 23670 grams.
