Utopia is an impossibility in that it suggests an unchanging perfection, which would not only be impossible but would also be a horrible fascist nightmare of a world set in someones pet concept of stone. Every new generation has new challenges. How we handle those challenges determines our character as cultures and individuals. Whatever utopia there may be is ever possible within each culture and individual in how gracefully they face life's challenges. The near future should be an extraordinary era for humanity with the anticipated collection of changes upon us. There will be distopia in the hearts of many individuals and cultures that do not adapt and gracefully face the impending challenges. And, there will be utopia in the hearts of those individuals and cultures that do adapt and gracefully face the impending challenges and revel in being alive.

Life will be very disparaging. Our national language will no longer be English. There will be 2 defined classes of people: The ultra Rich and the ultra Poor. All technical jobs will have been out-sourced to other countries for pennies on the US dollar. We will be years away from the 3rd world country that we have no opportunity of changing at this late point in time.
I strongly suggest that you move to a better country, find a way to become ultra wealthy (not a lottery ticket either), or make a iron clad suicide plan and make sure that you have all of the components you need to carry it out.

Almost certainly a dystopia. I give a utopia a 5% probability at best.
The internet has a theoretical gradual utopia-izing effect (yes, I made that
word up, but you see what it means) on society. However, even the internet
is not enough to save us.
The growing problems that exist are both enivronmental and political/military.
Environmental:
1. fossil-fuel-induced global warming, and the resulting crop failures
and flooding of low-elevation areas
2. overpopulation, largely due to the theocratic heavy-breeders
(this problem is both environmental AND political/military)
3. the increasing scarcity of oil, which will run out in less than 100 years
4. depletion of mineral resources
5. growth of landfills
6. erosion of topsoil
7. deforestation
8. depletion of groundwater reserviors
Political/military:
1. nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea against the United States,
especially Iran, which will definitely make a nuclear attack on the U.S.
when it can
2. the leftist theocratic latinos that are invading the U.S. and breeding
rapidly, with the intent of illegalizing both the death penalty and abortion
in the U.S., two of society's lifelines to improvement
3. catholic, quiverfull, and other theocratic heavy-breeders, who pass on
their pro-theocracy genes, while the atheists and other secularists make
few genetic offspring by comparison
4. the European Unions' requirement that all member nations illegalize
the death penalty, which is one of a country's lifelines to improvement
If humans were less self-centered and more far-sighted, then we could
fix these problems. But we are not, not on the whole anyway. It is in the
genes of the average human to be short-sighted and self-centered.
The only way that anyone can endure the coming environmental disasters
is to form groups that live in an autonomous and self-sustaining manner,
with plenty of defenses to protect against the self-centered people that
try to steal what they did not make, when the disasters come.
The political/military problems are even harder to deal with.

If you had been specific, an answer might have been debatable,...for instance, how would life be if i am American...or Vietnamese, ..or Iraqi,..or Lebanese,..or Ecuadorian, in the year 2025,..a focal nationality would certainly have caught more attention, i bet.
Generically, globally, i think life as we now live it will have altered radically in some ways, significantly in others, and marginally elsewhere...a few things will remain unchanged.
Personal transportation will change somewhat,...world powers will change significantly,...government excursiveness and it's pork will alter dramatically,...local populations will undergo fluctuations unlike any we have yet seen,...and violence such as Small wars will become the norm in places previously unaccustomed to it,..
I am assuming the trends and theme of humanity will continue un abated, of coarse. with 'governments' as volatile as these we now contend with, i see no way around much of the contention and strife being projected into our tomorrows, today.

I think life will be about the same as it is now, some of the situations will be the same but life basically will be the same, making ends meet, raising your kids, working, trying to get by. Life is what you make it..as for what condition the environment will be or how things will be changed as to energy and pollution, i couldn't say for sure but that was different for people 100 years ago and will be different for those 100 years from now..
