Everyday life will not change. Sport will still reign as the opium of the people. And when there is no sport, far too many people will use alcohol and drugs in excess to get away from it all.
There will be medical breakthroughs to extend life expectancy. These advances will be expensive and many oldies will be really bitter about going back to work to afford these.
Driverless cars will be mandatory. This will allow cars to follow each other with unbelievable small spaces between them. Roads will be able to carry 2 to 3 times their current volume with such technology. However, when it goes wrong, we will have our first crash of 10,000 vehicles.
Everybody will be really interested in fixing the environment. Currently, it is like that tooth pain that is ignored. However, the pain will explode as seafront esplanades disappear under the waves.
Oh, Astronomers will be very unpopular when viruses are brought back from Mars that start destroying our food chains.
Cheers!
