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?

Any type of technology that brings equality.

A perspective from India. 20+ years ago before ATMs were implemented, the bank officials treated each customer differently. A worker with dirty clothes would be treated poorly than a person who wears a tuck-in shirt.

Situation now: ATMs don't know who is rich and who is poor. All people are equal.
