What we seem to need is a Singularity where we get breakthroughs in materials science, and medicine. I will guess that only when LMM's and other devices merge with low-error, high capacity quantum computers is when this will happen. Yeah, I like quantum-woo! Only then, will the thunderous roar of the mighty Bussard Ramjet cleave the night sky! "woo-woo-woo-woo!

Here is an excerpt: "In the next five years, computer programs that can think will read legal documents and give medical advice. In the next decade, they will do assembly-line work and maybe even become companions. And in the decades after that, they will do almost everything, including making new scientific discoveries that will expand our concept of “everything”.. And a recursive loop of innovation, as these smart machines themselves help us make smarter machines, will accelerate the revolution’s pace. The changes coming are unstoppable. If we embrace them and plan for them, we can use them to create a much fairer, happier, and more prosperous society. The technological progress we make in the next 100 years will be far larger than all we’ve made since we first controlled fire and invented the wheel. We should therefore focus on taxing capital rather than labor, and we should use these taxes as an opportunity to directly distribute ownership and wealth to citizens. In other words, the best way to improve capitalism is to enable everyone to benefit from it directly as an equity owner. The future can be almost unimaginably great." I agree with Mr. Altman that the changes will be huge and unstoppable, but I'm not as consistent as he is that they will all be for the benefit of human beings.
