Long term, I expect some combination of VR/AR/drones/telepresence will arise. Desktops gave people easy access to information and processing at home, smartphones gave you access anywhere you are, drones take you anywhere you're not. If we get to the point where drones the power of your current smartphone are cheap enough to be effectively disposable (or rentable by the hour from Amazon warehouses), I think that people will start to rely on them for all sorts of things.

People are going to "drone in to the office", they'll send one to look around new houses or office space before bothering to turn up themselves, they're going to be on holiday but connect to their drones at home to check that their house and cats are okay, they'll rent drones far away and just _explore_ stuff.

And eventually there will be undesirable things, schools will cut costs by sending drones on field trips instead of kids. Ubiquitous eavesdropping will arise. If the hardware and connectivity becomes hard to trace, trolls aren't going to just dox you, they're going to film and break into your house. The gated communities of the future will be Faraday cages.

No idea of a timeline for this stuff, and would certainly like to believe some of it isn't inevitable.
