Just some thoughts

Most computing will be done over the internet. Most transactions will be done by mobile devices. Television will be browser based with monthly costs based on how many ads you are willing to watch. Radio will be browser based again based on a monthly fee. Your music library will be licensed and you will have access. Newspapers are history as news and magazine content are distributed through tablets. Books will be quaint. US mail will be sub contracted out as most mail will be delivered electronically. Major changes in fossil fuel use as advances are made in making green sources more efficient. Major upgrade to power grid infrastructure that will move power more efficiently. Commuting will be down as more people will be able to work from home or from decentralized work pods. We will finally get a flat tax and investment will flourish. Social security will be privatized and saving will be encouraged.

Unfortunately, we will as humans will not change much. We will still be motivated by greed and power and much of the world will still have no political voice and be undernourished. Drugs, crime, and hatred will still be a problem. People will still need to work hard to raise a family and teach our youth the golden rule and respect.
