Transhuman Space 2110, 2130, 2200

I'm starting to think about a THS campaign to run, someday. But I have this inability to run a setting "straight", I always want to do it differently in some way. An obvious way for THS is to move a little way into the future, and thinking about that led me to an idea about SF in general.

What you expect to happen is biased by your view of what's wrong now.

So I'm interested to know what people think are the problems in 2100 that may yield to socially acceptable technological developments, and if there would be enough motive/budget to attack those problems. Let's stay off improved uploading, OK? The sticky thread is just over that way.

An obvious one is faster computers and better AI design making AIs smarter and cheaper. What happens then?
