WRT technology, I expect a technological plateau within our lifetime.
In geo-politics, USA will not be the sole superpower anymore:
* China will continue to regain its historical prominence/prestige
* EU will seek more and more independence from the US
* Turkey will look to form its own union of states in the Eastern Mediterranean (kind of a neo-byzantine/neo-ottoman empire)
* Brazil and India will continue to do well
* Russia and Iran's future not so certain
I think the transition will probably be relatively smooth, but we'll have to wait and see.
