There is no telling what technology will be like in the future. In the 1980's, people believed that in the 2000's, there would be futuristic technology such as hover cars, laser firearms, and other things commonly seen in science-fiction media. However, these visions were sadly far from the truth (although we do have advanced new technology). I believe in the future, technology will improve slowly, but surely. People will communicate with friends and family through means similar to the past: using devices such as phones and computer programs to broadcast their voice or a live video to them. People will still probably commute to school or work via public transit. Maybe someday, they will develop hover vehicles, but not in the foreseeable future. As for world peace and equality, I believe there will never be any. Somewhere, at some time, there will always be conflict. It is something that everyone has to deal with.
The only emerging technology I can think of that might change my daily life is virtual reality, or VR. VR allows people to experience things in a whole new way. For example, someone could assume the role of an astronaut or a soldier. To simply put it, VR is like a video game, except instead of controlling someone, a person actually feels as if they're inside the simulation. VR has the possibility of training people for careers in a safe way. Since I am pursuing a career in simulation and game development, I have the possibility of advancing VR technology. I am not sure how I will do it, but nonetheless, I will consider its impact on future technology.
