1. Though automation changed the way many business work, a bigger change of culture happened due to the now 20-40yo being in charge. Business are both profitable and sustainable. The way Microsoft changed the last decade will be an example for others - even the big ones, but certainly not all of them - to change. Personal growth and personal career paths are more important to companies, not only for the C-levels/public facing people but on all levels.
2. Climate change will be accepted, and most people are doing better in terms of being environment friendly. Eating meat more than 2-3 days a week is what smoking is now: you're sort of free to do it but it's just not the way.
3. Due to the retirement of the baby boomers (broad definition: 1945-65) things have changed, but not that much. Development in elderly care is slowly taking place - old people still living in their own house do have some home automation but it's more monitoring than active automation. Care robots are more present but are still been seen as toys or gadgets and did not replace humans in care. This will be the problem of the 2030-2040 as care costs have risen above sustainable levels.
4. Both GDPR/CCPA and some major privacy f*ckup (probably classified major because some public figure is involved) caused most companies to be really caring about the data they take care of. People know what companies do with their data and have a option to somehow have a paid subscription to be sure their data is not sold in anyway. (This is not going to happen, sadly. We still pay with our data, we are still bothered by ads.)
