This is really cool stuff.
I have said many times here on FR and to friends and family - many if not most of the physical problems we face today will be solved by future technologies. Recent history (last century) proves this is true. The growth curve in technology and R&D today in all fields of science is astounding compared to when I was in college (hard science major and graduate) 30 plus years ago.
The future will be amazing and exciting if we can preserve freedom and capitalism.
There were people who witnessed via news accounts the Wright Brothers' first flight and the first man on the moon. Not to mention the evolution of jet power.
We grew up with a 4 digit telephone number and party lines on a rotary phone and are now blessed with smart phones with live video.
You're right, technology is advancing exponentially and I can't even begin to imagine what it holds in store for us 25 years from now or even 100 years...........I'd love to be around to see it.
A positive outlook are always appreciated.
Absolutely agree with your prediction of the geometric improvement in technology, although it is impossible to predict what exactly will be the course. In addition to social and economic “engineering”, which is not science and should be avoided, any attempt at stasis (sustainability)should be avoided too.
The future may just be populated by gender confused dopes and lemmings too, at the rate are non-education education is going.
