The next decade will be the biggest jump in your life.

You will likely eat mostly 'fake' meat grown in bioreactors.

Your power will be very cheap and powered by renewables (mostly solar)

Your driving will be done for you with autonomous vehicles

Humanoid robots will do the strenuous manual labour

You will have an AI assistant that will be every specialist in one (a phycologist, personal trainer, personal coach, medical specialist, engineer, coder, etc) accessible for a few bucks per month.

There will be far more higher quality content (movies, TV shows, music, etc) that are created by AI

People will have BMI's installed. These are implants into your brain that help you remember things better, access the internet, control emotions easier, etc. This will be like the introduction of the first smart phone.

Am I missing anything?

Until the one after that (and so on...)

You're missing the perspective of age. None of the things you mentioned here will predominate in the next decade. I was born in 1954. Things have changed a lot less than you believe even since then.

Uh... I can't speak for the 1950s since I wasn't alive then, but I remember the 90s and 2000s and I feel as though my life and the world was very different. It's pretty subjective. You can hyperfixate on the way things have remained stable if that's what you want to do (we still drive cars, we still shop at stores, whatever) for whatever reason you might have, but your perspective is not the only valid one. Like my day-to-day life was dramatically different in the 90s because I didn't have the internet for most of the decade, but I'm supposed to discount my own experiences and say that that's totally wrong because... reasons? Because some guy on reddit tells me to? None of my hobbies and interests and defining elements of daily life even existed in 1954.

eeeh I grew up in 80s-90s and looking back life is pretty much drastically different. Between 1950s vs today the difference between no computers at all, let alone internet is pretty massive.

I hope those things are all in production and available for the masses by then.

I think anything that can compete with human creative writing is necessarily going to be strong AI/AGI, by which point the world as we know it would have ended anyway.

That is to say: you'd have to be able to pass the Turing Test. Language itself is the ultimate and final domain of human intelligence, and storytelling is arguably the subtlest expression of it.
