Just a happy brain in a happy jar
Fusion? That would be big. The continual role out of green energy which can push the price down. The McRib coming back. Normal things.
Quantum safe cryptography ciphers already exist

Regenerative agriculture
Interaction net parallel computing (see HVM by HigherOrderCo)
