That's not that long from now. Most people will have lived through the present day. Aside from the obvious "get rich quick schemes," I'd probably ask, "What do you think I should know?"
How would you answer "What do you think I should know" from a time traveler from 1994?
I think I would just spend the afternoon with her, would be interesting to talk with your own kids as complete "equals".
Would not bother too much with climate change or scientific progress. I am an idealist, I like the idea of humans giving up their whole life for their one true obsession. I think, shortcutting this with insider information would make my regular life after I am back, a bit disappointing.
Where did the bombs fall? What areas were free of fallout? What areas survived the subsequent unrest and famine unscathed? Where did the new centres of power form? Who the powerful people are? What did they do during/after the war that made them powerful?

2) Amazon, Tesla, and Bitcoin.
3) Try to get a career in software. It will be a high paying job for decades to come.
4) Most cancers still aren't treatable, so stop smoking.

I'd then like to talk with someone who is knowable about the current state of affairs. What kind of quality of living do the general population have ? Are there classes? How is everyday life spent for most people?
