I'd expect alien contact, nay, demand it. I think after 100 years, we would have successfully integrated ourselves with them enough to not act completely different towards them. It would just be some new faces.
Other than that, I would think that the world would be more populated and more expansive (we'd expand into rural areas quite a bit). I think an interesting point is brought up in the Mass Effect series. It takes place around 2126, when humans have expanded into the galaxy, but Earth remains our home planet. There is an entry that says "the gap between rich and poor widens every day". It went on to explain how large, advanced cities were so economically successful yet exclusive that anyone who couldn't cut it basically lived in dirty slums. I think that would be the most integral part of society, wealth. We might recover from this and future economic troubles, but we would end up segregating our less fortunate.
