Increasing worldwide political unrest? Definitely. The planet running out of resources from overpopulation? Not going to happen. There is so much unnecessary waste of food, fuel, and other resources driven by the seeking of profit in our current form of capitalism that the problem won't be a lack of resources, but rather a worsening of the imbalanced distribution of resources we see today. Changes in technology will make many jobs disappear, but just like every single time in history when technology has made some jobs obsolete that same technology will create new employment opportunities. Advances in automation (of which robots are a fraction of the potential job disruption) will result in the rise of more diverse "cottage industries" as the ability to make complex machines and electronics, which is already within the reach of hobbyists, will exponentially grow and lead to an explosion of small businesses and local craftspeople. Smart phones are pretty much at their peak right now. Soon wearable technology (think Google Glass that looks like fashionable sunglasses and advanced smart watches) will start being commonplace, and within a decade after that will be the direct interfaces to the nerves of our ears and eyes. Hopefully we can weather the coming political upheaval without too much military action. Unfortunately there is mounting evidence that climate change has already passed a tipping point, but hopefully we can mitigate the damage and adapt our lifestyles and industry quick enough to reduce the potential mass hardship. We are an ingenious species, and barring an extinction level event I'm pretty confident we can weather the coming storms. But I am skeptical that we will be facing an easy road ahead.

People will still be glued to their phones-will probably have visual phone capability. Have to look perfect to talk on phone. If you've read Farenheit 451 or seen the movie we'll have television size screens with live chat by the actors to the audience in their homes. More jobs will be automated-less fast food jobs. If retail stores still exist they will be totally automated as well. Everyone will have to learn to use the computer to survive. More items made with 3D printers.

A major increase in law enforcement jobs because crime is going to elevate. With companies being forced to go green the jobs are going to be fewer companies will fold or move. The guy out there in the ozarks that exploited the bacteria that can replace petroleum becoming a billionaire. Holographic tv projections are on their way to the general public your doctor will be able to visit you in your home. Would like a cursor lock on computers to help prevent cyber theft. Stem Cell research, exploited so people with medical problems and missing appendages and organs replaced. 3D printers becoming more advanced so you can order thing and they are constructed before you eyes.

I think there will be massive protests and revolutionary movements. Including the good old USA
Including
A lot of underground movements

betpaq will upload a photo

Places like this will bolster a revolution of consciousness for the good of everyone and everything.

Technology will be less detrimental to health. Advancements in AR tech will build the foundations for outdoor video games and VR will give the layman the opportunity to explore space with NASA and other companies. Successful missions to mars will inspire a new generation of scientists.

a gradual eroding of connectivity between people at large and a possible major downturn in the economies. on the bright side a smaller prison population and a greater role for women [ as we guys have made a mess of it for the most part], an end to the syrian civil war and a curtailing of the power of the saudi royal family [who are funding religious turmoil all over the planet

a huge violent change in the human world

Ever watch Pixar's Wall-e?
Pretty much sums up a lot of what is happening (trashing the planet, obesity, automation) or the direction earth/earthlings is headed.

Lazy, lazy, lazy. Spoiled to the point of Really being lazy and useless without technology. Those with 20th century background will survive no matter what.

Interesting question. Automation is going to be the biggie, I think, and could lead us down one of two paths - the first, likely to happen in the more progressive countries, is that the government will realise it's impossible for all adults to be employed at all times and introduce a guaranteed citizens income allowing people to work as and when they wish, or to devote their lives to other purposes. The other, likely to happen in countries such as my own, is that the wealthy continue to own the means of production and automation pushes the non-wealthy workers out of the equation altogether, thus dramatically reducing any chance they have of improving their lives.
