An 'arts, sports, and leisure' society. More people playing video games (the industrialized world is excellent at creating cheap entertainment - we could create WoWs and Candy Crushes forever); playing sports; exercising; socializing; nature walks/hiking/hanging around in parks; learning for learning's sake (with cheap books, MOOCs, etc. you could essentially do self-directed academia for life); amateur science/wilderness exploration; art and music creation; lots of recreational drug use, and eventually, wireheading or its equivalent (top-notch VR would probably get us pretty far down that road, anyway.)
