The Reaper Virus starts killing most people in Scotland. By June Scotland is walled off from the rest of the world and everyone left to die. The remaining survivors turn into Mad Max or renaissance medieval castle dwellers. So no change then ;) From Doomsday.

2200
In the final decade of the 21st century, men and women in rocket ships landed on the moon. By 2200 AD, they had reached the other planets of our solar system. Almost at once there followed the discovery of hyperdrive through which the speed of light was first attained and latter greatly surpassed. And so at last mankind began the conquest and colonisation of deep space. From Forbidden Planet.

Robbie The Robot is welcomed by people at the Chicago Space Port. Dr Greenhill of the Stoneman Institute Of Mathematics made a time machine and saw this, but nobody believed him because he went mad. Wait around 300 or so years and we'll see. From The Invisible Boy.
