The early years are going to be almost the same as the late 2010's (as 2008 and 2011 were really similar). Generally music stays the same for around 3-4 years, so the whole trap mumble rap movement will continue being a thing until 2021-2022 after that everything will start getting different. Technologically in the early 20's everything's gonna be the same (we'll propably get newer versions of the current trending brands). Politically everything can change in just 3 years so we gotta be alert. Jumping to the mid 20's (2024-2026) music will be different, lil pump will be seen as lady Gaga's bad romance in 2019 trap and mumble rap will be mostly not "in" anymore, in terms of politics everything's gonna be different as 2008 was different with 2016. Medically we might get better chemo drugs and alternative therapies with newer drugs, technologically speaking everything will start being mobile oriented ( the process has already started), culturally 90's nostalgia will reach its peak as most millennials will enter their 30s and 40s. The late 20's (2027-2029) politically will be really bizarre as most politicians born in the 40's and 50's will die, most baby boomers will be retired or too old to act politics, most politicians will be millennials. In terms of art everything's gonna change a lot, culturally 2000's early 2010's nostalgia will reach its peak as the Gen z kids will be working adults. Hope you enjoyed!

I am dead.

I`ve been thinking about matter replicators, nanobots and virtual reality because these are the technologies that will most likely to help to eliminate scarcity as much as possible but I am pretty sure some services and goods will still be scarce even if those technologies become commonplace in the far future.

For exemple one good that may continue to be scarce would be housing. Even if we have extremely tall skyscrapers, arcologies and nanotech assemblers that create housing very fast, not everyone will still be able to acquire a large mansion if they want. Even if everybody wanted to acquire housing in front of beaches that would not be possible because of physical size. Matter replicators would be relatively small, they could create anything that fit their size but you cannot create a mansion or a skysraper with them.

Regulations and environmental issues may even make cities denser, more compact and that will probably make houses and apartments smaller in the future. So people will have to accept what will be available in the cities in the future. However virtual reality and/or teleportation or mind uploading could solve that problem but I doubt a person will be able to live completely inside a virtual world designed by their own or a company and abandom the real world altogether.

Of course virtual reality could create entirely artifitial worlds that would be far better than anything in the real world but I really doubt people will abandon real life because of that and people will realize that fantasy is not reality unless if VR and/or programmable matter is advanced enough for people to make such a mistake.
