Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future?
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?

Wait, rich people are doing that already? Seriously?
Not quite yet, but it looks to be on the near horizon
Sounds straight out of hollywood
Lots of stuff we take for granted today was straight out of Hollywood 20 years ago :D
Like carrying a small rectangle in your pocket that can stream live video to your grandparents, wherever they are.
A friend's uncle paid to travel to an elite American hospital to get stem cell therapy instead of a knee replacement. While he did pay for the flight and the living expenses, he did not pay for the treatment because it was experimental. So yeah, it does cost a lot, but not because of the treatment itself. Of course, this coukd change when patents are applied and capitalism takes over the therapy.
I wonder if patents have already been applied to the nanorobots use for treating diseases
