Predictions for the Coming 10-20 Years: Attention spans decrease to <4 seconds. Education utilizes gamified curriculums as a means to stop unruly behaviour. Social media reward systems fry brain receptors hyper-addicts, that can only function with max stimulus.

Social media continues to condense. Infini-scrolling image/emoticon boards become prevalent. Language condenses further into consumer-capital and brands become abstract descriptors - "That's very Apple". This is related to early acceptance of 'brand behaviour'.

The silence of western green spaces is gone. You no longer feel at peace in parks. 3d printing quickly destroys entire industries. First generation of Crispr-esque failures. Fashion depletes into minimalist status signalling for males, and libidinal signalling for women.

Fatigue, mental illness and bad nutrition accelerate further and public meltdowns become common, weekly, daily occurrences. First 100,000+ wipeout from chem-resistant superstrain. Beaches become horrible adult-infant playgrounds.

Nudity becomes publicly normal, public masturbation is fine if a cubicle is used. Mainstream TV is largely pornographic. We still use phones - headgear has to completely transform to be used - but they're imbedded in forearms.

In some way I would expect remote to enable the survival of smaller towns and villages as long as those have healthcare services available

My point wrt to disrepair is that most of everything will be delivered to homes, so if people are t commuting to and from work and stopping off at small local stores, they'll die. Everything is cheaper in the virtual.

There is some data on how many people might do their shopping during their commute vs separately. http://atususers.umd.edu/wip2/papers_i2007/CBrown.pdf … But it's a bit limited and US centric.
