I’m going against your question here Mike Reeves-McMillan because I’m guessing that in 30 years the human brain will still be the smartest machine in the universe, and that there will still be possibilities for humans to live somewhat feral sort of lives.
My interest in technology is always with the people not at the forefront of technology possibilities, but who use only what is useful to them.
Look at the way mobile/cell phones are/have been taken up. Well-diggers in India consider them essential. The guy at the bottom of the hole can let them up top know when he is ready to come up.
The poorest of poor in Africa, living in tribal cattle herding situations have them. In both these situations, the really important place in the village has become the shop where you take your cell phone to be charged. Usually by solar power.
My point being that future technologies won’t limit the kind of stories that can be told.
Drones, for example, I read that the Dutch police are training up a bunch of raptors to hunt and destroy illegal drones. Good story material there.

I wasn’t thinking of how these technologies would limit stories – exactly the opposite, in fact. What stories do these technologies enable, that otherwise could not occur?
