'Oh wow mom. Was it really true? Back in your day did you really not know how destructive Twitter was? Everybody just had, like, unlimited access to it?'

*sob* 'We didn't know! We didn't realize the harm until it had already been done!'

'Whelp.' *picks up gun* 'Time to go hunt some radroaches.'

'Be careful to not let the cannibals get you! I'll be here... We couldn't have known...'

The way things are going, I'm sorry, but if we're still around in eighteen years, our corporate overlords will keep you on life support as long as you're in any way profitable. Come the third insurgency in late December of 2041, you'll see; you'll see.

We're as close to 2040 as we are to 2004. Not much will change technologically aside from greater connectivity to the internet. We'll have the equivalent to 9G internet and everything from your garage door to your laundry machine will be connected online. Netflix and Disney+ will cost $300 per month each, and you must watch ads every 5 minutes. Ads will also appear as an unblockable built in software feature on new TVs, phones, consoles, refrigerators, and cars.

Politically, assuming nuclear war hasn't occurred, things will be even worse than today. Most western countries will be governed by neofascist boomer Facebook conservatives (think Trump and Bolsonaro but worse) and public "truth" will become subjective and based on a combination of feelings and the quantity of memes about it.

That's not how corporate overlords work. They don't want to keep the meat slaves around, they want useful turnover as the old meat gets tossed out and new meat replaces it. No use keeping the serfs alive when there are always more serfs being made every day. Easier to brainwash the younger ones as well.

Politics/general human discourse will be much worse but technology will advance and offset some of that

Also entertainment will probably be dumbed down so much that flashing colors and random noises will be must watch tv/streaming/whatever replaces them

This relies on a good turnover of people, but as is people have a bleak enough view on life to have a dropping birthrate. Children also have a long gestation period so to recoup those losses, they need people to be profitable for as long as possible.
