It was hard to rip it to 200 words. Nothing too fancy will happen, most probable future is next:
Climate change is affecting Earth considerably. GMO agriculture is trying to counteract its effect and keep the population at 10 billion region. Attempts to stop temperature rise are slowing it down but still, more should be done.
Catalyzed production of hydrogen from water by inexpensive solar energy. Oil is still being used and prices on it go down. Electrically driven vehicles mostly run on special road-tracks and gain more and more ground over traditional combustion engines. Later, clean thermonuclear energy harvesting which is boosted by moon settlement and mining of He-3.
Everything is on a way to merging or making one big entity: countries, companies, currencies, etc. English becomes Earth language, more than 90% of the population knows it, national languages are still present. Information on most of the population is centralized. Standardized tests are being developed to assess skills and personality traits for employment, etc.
Weak-AI is incorporated into each area where it is possible, boosting economics and progress. Free education becomes accessible to everyone. Search on information facilitated by weak-AI is similar to the concept «universal knowledge library». Blockchain technology is incorporated into a variety of fields including currency.
