You know what, i actually don't see this happening. People are far too concerned about human rights infringements right now and i don't see this changing in the next 25 years. Maybe sometime after that though...

Natural disaster hits America.
Europe tensions will rise.
Russia displays dominance over Europe. Germany/Holland/Austria will be the first to comply.
 
We all saw how America lost it's collective shit after 9/11, imagine if it was a whole city lost instead of a few buildings. World War 3 will be fucking brutal.

The population will be around 9 billion by then. Industrial Food production will not be able to keep up. People will have to resort to backyard gardens, bartering and raising small animals like gerbils to eat in order to survive.

In North America and most western states, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.

African countries will be denied aid and will be forced to fend for themsevles. This will be a great benefit to them as aid has been what was holding them back all this time.

No more money will go towards AIDS cure research. Money will be spent on education and prevention instead.

Most cars on the road will still be powered by petrol, but more and more people will use public transit and bicycles. There will not be a stigma attached to these modes of transportation as there is today.

Electric vehicles will still have little importance and cars continue to become more fuel efficient.

Iran will have another revolution and the good people of Iran will finally have a secular system of government where the mullahs have no real political power.

Clothing with build in electronics will become commonplace. People will charge their electronic clothing merely by moving about. Seemingly ordinary eye/sun glasses will actually be very advanced computers that beam an image directly into your eye. User interface will be controller with hand movements and eye gestures - there will be touch sensitive buttons on the tope of the frame as well. They will be able to scan a person and give you their facebook/myspace profile instantly (unless you are set on private).

Magazines will become obsolete and relagated to niche markets only as the cost to transport them has become too great.

Robots will walk among us.

A sentient computer will exist.

Commercial space vacations will be available, but only the rich will be able to afford to take advantage of them.

2029...

Humans land on Mars, some asshole calls it a hoax.
Eco-fascists still can't kill the V8-powered muscle cars, even though they are automotive pariahs because they don't get 1,000,000,000,000,000 miles to the gallon and don't run on unicorn farts and rainbows. Ford tells Greenpeace to suck it, they're meeting the CAFE standards anyways.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins the 2029 Sprint Cup (yeah, right)
Someone steals the Internet, claims to have won it.
Cure for cancer is found, anti-science right-wing zealots will put a bounty on the head of the guy who found it.
