Biggest recession since 1920. Bitcoin becomes absolutely huge, bigger than gold. Governments will issue cryptocurrencies.

Mass waves of people from displacement caused by climate change (rising water levels). Increased anti-immigrant rhetoric. China's full rise as a super-power and an exertion of their will. Several opportunities for Western nations to do the right thing but instead embracing greater conservative views.
Every country for themselves with climate change getting worse and and resources depleting.
The direction US went this decade, Brasil, China, UK just now and the further divide within Canada.
I expect that Democracy itself will suffer a slow, burning cancer that may kill it totally by the decade that follows, if not directly the next. Something that may follow the climate crisis as well, since mass immigration will make right wings folks BS points more powerful. People don't vote no matter how dire the situation is.

So just like protectionism and isolationism for everyone. That makes sense.
Like most decades it'll be iterative with general moderate innovation across the board.
- We will have a global recession. Not as bad as 08 but it'll sap a couple of years
- EV cars will be crossing the chasm into mainstream as battery cost reduction gets it cheaper than combustion.
- We will have a major battery tech improvement, probably involving graphene or stanene.
- Computers won't improve much at first but something will disrupt silicon by 2030
- Democrats will take back the presidency but not the Senate. Lame duck decade with gradual healing from Trump.
- Modest improvements in 1st world countries with renewable and fission power, but the world will still get hotter. We'll have political campaigns on climate change and reversal technology investments.
I personally think we'll see an AR boom. It seems like the technology that a lot of companies are working on. It's not quite ready for mainstream, it's still too bulky to have in casual glasses format, but it already has some neat uses on phones. Once it can be done in a slim form factor, I think it will be huge for a lot of industries and even for the average person. We already augment and blend our daily life with technology by using our phone. AR seems like the next big step for that of blending the real world with technology.
Unchecked climate change and unfettered capitalism will result in tens of thousands if not millions of deaths in the second and third world and will create the worst refugee and humanitarian crisis in modern history. The resulting millions of climate refugees will fuel the continuing spread of far-right ideologies and anti-immigration policies across the western world and first-world countries. Ever-extreme far right governments and politicians will strengthen their grip on power in the world's industrialized nations, further weakening and eroding traditional democratic institutions and norms while stamping out all meaningful opposition via voter suppression and corruption. The rise of automation coupled with unfettered capitalism will see the greatest economic collapse for the middle class and working poor since the great depression. The devastating effects of climate change will also see a collapse in global agriculture production and a dwindling of the world's food supply. Other dwindling resources, such as water, rare earth elements, fossil fuels, combined with the climate catastrophe will lead to wide-scale conflict, death, and starvation - a global humanitarian crisis the likes of which the world has never seen. The rich will hoard its wealth while the rest will make up a permanent underclass left to fight for the scraps that are left over. Sorry, I'm not too hopeful for the future.

- EU has a huge refugee crisis if not several major sized ones, and when they time comes either fights it off or continues with the insane rates it's going with right now.
-No World War however that European refugee crisis is feuled because of the total collapse of the 2nd and 3rd world. South America, Middle East, and Hong Kong are in total disarray and if they continue into the next decade like this there won't be a country to fight for.
-Even America is seeing a mass Exodus after 2024, with Trump declaring a 3rd term vecause of some bullshit excuse that flies in Congress.

Big recession ~2026 probably created by sovereign debt and the near end of the petroleum dollar
A mainstream move to EVs, by the end of the decade only a few manufacturers develop ICE vehicles.
Global deterioration of climate and ecosystems beyond tipping points
Carbon tax on meat in Europe
China and Space X race to Mars (Land in 30's)
At least one African megafauna species becomes functionally extinct in the wild

Everyone literally lives by what their phone tells them.
After years of gathering information and data on the owner, an OS update in early 2020s turns the OS into a functional consciousness app. Phones are declared, by Silicon Valley and Global governments, as better judges of correct behaviour than an individual's own will. It becomes a legal requirement to follow daily instructions given by your phones OS. Secret footage is released near the end of the decade of Mark Zuckerberg defying his phone's instructions.

I hate to say this, because it includes my parents, but a lot of boomers are going to be dead in the next decade. I'm not entirely sure how it will change things, but it's going to shift a lot of cash around.
