@Ashgan, adding on to what
@Peik said.
Subdermal RFID and digital paymentComputer chips under the skin is entirely possible, but like any tech, it will supplement instead of completely replacing tried and true traditional tools. In this case, a chip, not matter how small it is, can be intrusive in someone's body. Unlike a credit card, people can't simply take it out of their skin (safely) like they can with the card/wallet. Hacking and cutting it out of the skin can be concerns, but then again, similar issues already exist with tap to pay credit cards today. Before traveling to risky areas, the chip owner may disable their device to prevent hacking. They may also add in an additional layer of security like traditional passwords, fingerprints, eye recognition or something else. There will be an ever evolving arms race between hackers and security, and these kind of dangers won't likely turn people off from convenience.
So yes, subdermal RFID will be present. In terms of widespread adoption, I'd say it's on the same scale as today's phone based credit cards (like Google Pay); popular but not ubiquitous.
In addition, two more methods of payment are bound to rise in popularity. Cryptocurrency loaded onto portable smart devices, which allows bitcoin to be used in certain physical stores. And purely biometric credentials; pay with a scan of your fingerprint.
Using flashy futuristic pay may be the right thing in downtown Sopahn, but outside in rural Taray, be prepared to spend paper rupees.
Virtual and augmented realitySmart glasses are gonna be the next big thing. Google Glass can already be used with prescriptions glasses, ski goggles in the arctics and scuba goggles underwater. With the miniaturization of microchips and advancements in quantum computing, augmented reality (AR) is only gonna get better. So yes, all of these things you said will exist in 2060.
Info superimposed on glasses already exists on fighter pilot huds, and we will definetely see it in everyday use in the future. Just keep in mind that some sort of connection may be required to use live navigation. However, some landmarks and tourist sites can have bar codes or recognizable patterns thag when scanned, trigger AR info flyout. Same thing can also be applied to roads and buildings.
Using holograms in conferences like the Jedi council is forseeable, as Star Wars type holograms are already in development. It's probably going to be the next step up from Skype teleconferencing. The catch here is that transportation also got better, meaning those vital meetings can be done easier face-to-face.
Augmented reality games (like
Pokemon Go) are different than virtual reality games (like
House of the Dying Sun). Both of these are going to be huge, with the former being prevelant in mobile gaming and the latter requiring a solid goggle, rig and possibly wide room. I can imagine AR and VR being combined in some form, like "walking out" of your room while sitting with a VR set on and explore a zombie appocalypse version of Sopahn in the comfort of your sofa.
Future carsOil is going to be scarce in 2060. The big oil nations in the Middle East would have ran out of their reserves by then. However, a few countries like Canada and Venezuela actually have more than 100 years of reserves remaining, so you can still top up those vintage cars if you really want to. At the end of the day, electric cars are going to dominate, with solar panels on their roofs, hydrogen fuel cells under their hoods and plenty of plugs around parking lots. The side effect of electric cars is an increase in eletrcity demand, so prepare for a bigger eletric bill.
That brings me to
@Shienvien. Yup, what we take for granted today, the pretrol car that you actually have to steer, is going to be crappy and old. With a lot of revolutionary tech coming, finding parts for 2017 cars in 2060 may be more challenging than 1974 parts in 2017. In fact, the average "driver" won't even be driving; a lot of cars are going to be autonomous.
