Just look at where we have come in the last 200. And considering the speed at which change is happening, my answer is, we can't know or really even speculate.
If you were to take somebody from 200 years ago and bring them to today, they would be so overwhelmed. If we were to move you up 200 years, do you think you will even be able to describe what you are seeing? I doubt it.

Well if we keep going the way we are now I believe the U.S. military will be replaced by robots. Then once that has happened we will pursue world domination because we will no longer have to worry about human soldiers being killed in the line of duty. This is the main cause as to why we dislike war now. There will be new diseases brought on by corporate mongols who need money and power to control people. And who knows, perhaps America will go thru another revolutionary war to change our current state of corporate controlled politics. I know I'll be around for about another 70 years or so and that will be interesting enough for me. I can't imagine what another 130 would be like.

Well, if we don't do something about the loss of our "inalienable rights", I foresee the Constitution becoming a thing of the past. The Corporate Oligarchy we've created through our pervasive greed will get stronger as the rich will continue to support a fascist state to protect their power and money while the poor work in a form of corporate slavery (which we're not too far from even today).

We'll probably be experiencing a new "dark ages". The US will have degenerated, like Rome did, learning will be restricted to pockets of people, the standard of living will be lower, the world population will be reduced by disease and famine (as well as the effects of global warming). The world will be dominated by comparatively local warlords, the use of technology, at least much of it, will be reduced.

The error in your question is the pre-supposition. If you were up to it, you could use remote viewing and focus on some aspects. Such as if there will even be a civilization.

If trends with global warming continue we will be subject to lots of laws about recycling and use of resources, possibly population control, too. I suspect the global climate will be very, very hot, too. If we survive, we'll be driving electric cars and living more communally to conserve resources. I would hope that people would be more concerned about things that really matter (environmental conservation) rather than things that are inconsequential (plastic surgery).

I think nuclear war will wipe mankind off the earth way before the next 50 years.

Totally unpredictable. There might be a world president with one world law and one world religion and one world government. Earth might be at war with its moon or Mars colony? Who knows?

Hummm, assuming there is anyone LEFT in 200 years...
