It's honestly hard to say. Boomer generation has been so focused on maintaining status quote at the expense of the future that we're reaching a critical point where that's no longer possible. Not just because it's no longer feasible to ignore but because those who are experts at passing the buck to future generations will be phased out of the work force and die off soon.

With the status quote no longer maintainable there will be a massive paradigm shift. It's hard to speculate whether the outcome will be positive or negative. Either way, the future is looking quite volatile.

Nah, I see them upgrading their existing stocks in regards to their delivery systems.

Both of them have (tens of) thousands already. A few more won't change much. In fact, it will drain budget away from interventions and other shit.

Nothing much happens in 10 or 30 years, barely within 50 and even then its marginal.

Okay so lets say next 50 to 100.

Environmental degradation continues. Next big fad topics in the media will be quality followed by soil degradation. People will wring their hangs although these concerns were well documented a century earlier.

Western nations continue decline into Brazil 2.0 status, with continued entrenchment of wealth in a shrinking minority. As a result developing nations such as China and India slow their development and may in some cases regress in some areas.

Meaningful technological and scientific progress slows, although the plethora of trivial advances will continue for some time yet.

A few more terrorist incidents and proxy wars, some border skirmishes.

A few extra traffic lights get erected at intersections in some small towns around the wall.

That's about it.

human migration due to climate change is the next major "fuck the world up" issue.

It will cause millions and millions of death. War.

Hopefully a huge population decline plus some technological advancement beyond fossil fuels will save the human race. Otherwise we are fucked.

Thinking only about a general nightmare scenario:
10 years
The world continues the same as always for some time. However, western society starts showing symptoms of social unrest as result of increasingly absurd PC-policies, economic inequality grows just as corruption in governments. The ‘elite’ increasingly start showing aristocratic attitudes. Thinking about it this is already happening today.
30 years
With the growing population and increased consumerism, the environment’s collapse reaches critical levels. Humans are having trouble getting to mars and the 4th industrial revolution continues to replace human jobs. As consequence, unemployment levels skyrocket. Social unrest increases on a global scale.
50 years
Full blown AI. Humans have trouble stablishing a proper colony in mars. The Environment now is really fucked up because no one gave a shit. Living in a police state dystopia china style.
