Basic law and order concerns
Productivity and business
Primary commerce unit
Local politics

6. Facts, and “how to process” become down load
thereby condensing first 10 years of current Education
Socialization and Emotional education via alternate
means
Equivalent of college at much earlier age
Optional technology and science corps with for
further advancement based on merit
Education
Arguably the process of education has not changed much in
1000 years

7. Fast and safe travel based still on mechanical means
makes travel times of 2 hours or less to any point
possible for people and goods.
Travel

8. Virtually no cost sustainable energy
Ability to transfer power much more efficiently
Localized wireless charging
Energy

9. Government worldwide will be much smaller
Leadership positions more transient and ability based
Virtually no taxation as revenue comes from few state
run industries which are revenue generating
Relative power of countries more based on merit,
skills, and productivity (think of Singapore as a
superpower)
Government

10. Commerce is interconnected and transactions
primarily take place between extended family
networks
Commerce is “smart” and predictive of peoples needs
Commerce

11. Not utopia
There is still potential drain on society from people or
regions that do not want to or can not be productive
however costs to support will be very low
Elimination of need for mechanical things and analog
interfaces
End to religion or spirituality – in fact this will have an
opportunity to grow
A guarantee that things will always be free from the threat
of tyranny, despotism and new problems
What the future is not

12. Amazing opportunities in the near term for people and
companies that are at the forefront of developments
The potential for future generations across the globe of a
brighter future
Whole scale remedies for what are today perceived as
endemic and unsolvable issues
Fulfillment of universal human goals captured in the US
Declaration of Independence and elsewhere
… all men are created equal, they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
What the Future holds
