Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future? (lemmy.one)

When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

Lol. I always tell people I have oceanfront property, in 2050.

Don't worry, I'm sure Corpos and the RIch will find a way to get government to eminent domain your property away and give it to them under some bullshit excuse like "protecting their investment in seaside property"

Only without the awesome chrome.

Actually as the tide rises those properties will get less. They will just be bought up again from the rich people and the poor will move to the countryside.
