By 2100, the term "tweaker" will take on a new meaning:

In 2090's, an obscure Anonymous faction (Anonymous will have become just a controversial video gaming culture, after all of their conspiracy theories were debunked in the late 2050's) develops a new superimmersive gaming system.

The system consists of the console, psychoactive electromagnetically sensitive fluid (which contains various engineered metallic, semi-metallic and synthetic element combinations), superatomizer, megadiffuser, mask (like a CPAP, oxygen mask or a gas mask) and the "Experience Devirginizer" (sort of like the Wii sensor bar with all the traditional components, but it also includes electromagnetic field manipulators (kind of like the microwave oven magnetron)).

Players would wear the masks hooked up to the hookah-like diffusers and participate in the holographic video games, while the Divirginizer would control the state of airborne, atomized elements from the fluid as well as after the atomized elements have entered the bloodstream and crossed the blood-brain barrier. The purpose of this setup is to control all emotions and bodily functions by electromagnetically altering atomized elements in your brain and bloodstream, causing the player to feel as if they're 100% part of the gaming action. (Previous iteration of the Devirginizer was an intravenous delivery system, but after numerous overdoses, strokes and unexplainable addictions, it was outlawed in the late 2080's)

By 2105, pretty much everyone will be referring to such gamers as Tweakers.

Edit: if some shit is grammatically nonsensical, ignore it. I just needed to get this out of my head ASAP. lol

What was wrong with the current 'devirginizer' System? Ok, its usually quick and inefficient, but it has been doing the job for ages.

PS: I predict the Queen will live to 100, just to annoy the hell outa Charlie.

I couldn't come up with another name for a device that would expose you to experiences beyond reality. Dwell too long on terminology and you might lose your train of thought. :)
 
In early 2038, hipsters (who will then be known as chicklets), in an attempt to bring Uggs boots back in style, will unwittingly fund a terrorist mass poisoning of every Starbucks west of the Rockies. Unfortunately, no one can afford Starbucks by then, so the only patrons they have are chicklets who think a retro visit to Starbucks makes them cool, and they ultimately end up killing themselves.
 
In 2056 I will die at the ripe old age of 90, not before I have spent two decades terrorising pedestrians with my super charged mobility scooter (complete with go faster stripes). I will have John Travolta's head tattooed on my arse and I will drive the wrong way down the motorway with no panties on, waving my (doubtless by then) wrinkly ass cheeks in the air, whilst singing "if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it"...

Probably :)
 
Late fall of 2025:

World still doesn't have a full handle on COVID--19 strain of novel coronavirus, SARS re-emerges and COVID-19 (remanded COVID-25) mutates into a form that now critically
affects at least 75% of the infected and kills 50% of victims, now affecting domesticated animals as well (except animals don't die, only carry it permanently). Effective vaccine is developed by the end of first quarter in 2026, but people are pessimistic as a result of COVID-19 response mishandling over the previous four years and vaccination rate is lowest in the last 100 years. Humanity is flirting with a mass-extinction event.
