“By a huge number of objective measures, life is far, far better for the average person than it was a century ago”

Because technology is accelerating, the next generation will likely see bigger gains that the last century.

- Robots and artificial intelligence will make production costs plummet, raising living standards sharply.

- Radical life extension and age reversal from genetic, stem cell and drug therapies.

- Cures and treatments for most disease or disability.

- Near elimination of destitute poverty worldwide.

- and finally, the Jetson’s flying cars!
