Augmented reality
Augmented reality interposes additional information onto your live field of vision: target point of your cybernetic gun, weather forecast, traffic situation down the road, video call with gramps, "dating" availabilities on this dancefloor, license of this shawarma joint (probably fake), how much for the cool sneakers that chick's wearing, where is this bus going, and look - your laundry is done back at the den!
Among many other uses, AR enables visual tutors - a wise software or a skilled professional connecting to your sensorium, reading the diagnostics data from your vehicle, and telling you how to fix your car.
Similar technologies allow unskilled people to operate as drones: receive instructions from a computer or a specialist connected virtually. This improved some of the unemployment rates, but it is rare for people to really pick up skills this way. Humans are abundant, and labor becomes cheaper and cheaper, allowing unskilled workforce to compete with robots, while technology makes robots increasingly cheap as well. It's a race to the bottom.
