    Well, I believe in the future EVERYTHING will be automated. Economically, how would you compete against a machine that makes a machine that makes a machine that makes a machine (-infinitely-)?

    I think humanity will move on from material desire and become hyperspiritualised as it’s the one thing the machine cannot do and cannot be given. Wall-E or the Matrix basically, pick your poison.

      There are a lot of potential futures, such as:

      • Star Trek - humanity can automate everything, so people follow their passions
      • Matrix - machines take over
      • Cyberpunk/Fifth Element - same problems as today, just modernized

      While I would like the first, I think the last is the most likely.
