I think the future will be great. Solar, wind and battery storage will provide so much energy we won't know what to do with it. Self driving cars will enable us to go anywhere door to door without the need for owning a car. Video conferencing and VR will reduce the need for international travel. Eventually VR will be so good that you can easily hang out with your friends or family across the country. Living fulfilling lives more and more in the digital realm could reduce our usage of physical resources. With the immense progress of machine learning in the past 10 years, real world robotics is finally becoming feasible. This will be key to help us deal with declining populations.
The crises that we're facing now are nothing new, every decade has had its own challanges. We've had immense progress in the last 50 years, or even 20 years, I don't see a reason for this progress to slow down. It's just that in the moment we don't feel the change because we're in the middle of it.
