Technology

Electricity you can expect to always be there, and computers too, they are a staple technology by now, it's like paper. I'm talking personal computers, because with microcontrollers and specialized signal processors and so on nobody even thinks about them.

Food and shelter and medicine - by the measure people had 100 years ago, it'll never be bad in developed countries.

The last point, about discerning truth from fiction, is the important one, because for that purpose things are and are going to be just the same way as they were 100 years ago and 200 years ago and so on back. There have been a few decades when it seemed that we can do that without authoritative chain of proof, from, in case of a criminal investigation, police assembling facts following due process, them being registered and vetted and verified following due process, everything being documented following due process, then court proceedings and so on. Eh, as someone from former USSR, I feel funny typing this. Well, not entirely, for non-political things this was followed very rigorously even there.

So - we've had a timespan of few decades when techno-optimism was misused to erode common respect for due process and following chain of trust in establishing facts.

That's also a problem with mass media, both with freedom of press and press neutrality and ethics and reputation.

We'll have a bit of a rough ride until, very slowly through collective experience, we'll have it as good as before the Internet (the Internet is fine, it's more about people being eager to believe that technology can remove deontological and social and other philosophical components).
