A New Morning
We guesstimate that by 2040, America 3.0 will be in full flower. The painful transition period will be over and 400 million Americans will be living in a prosperous and free society marked by rapid and exciting technological change. We anticipate many such changes, including:
- Network technology will allow us to work anywhere, and with anyone, remotely. Individual- and family-scale businesses will be far more common and immensely more productive.
- Driverless cars and other innovations in transportation will revolutionize how we travel and where we live and work, allowing us to disperse across the continent into exurban and semi-rural living.
- 3D printing and related technologies will lead to an “internet of atoms” with localized and even in-home manufacturing. There will be a manufacturing renaissance in the United States and the factory floor will be everywhere.
- Medical technology will transform health care, with great gains in health and longevity achieved through enhanced diagnostics, custom-tailored drugs, and fewer medical emergencies.
- Education will be delivered through a variety of media and methods, and traditional brick and mortar schools will be far less important than they are today.
The first one:
- Network technology will allow us to work anywhere, and with anyone, remotely. Individual- and family-scale businesses will be far more common and immensely more productive.
Is the “Jet-packs” that we-of-the-baby-boomers were going to wear.
Work anywhere means to work no where, and it is in the workspace, of the mind but also of the body, that Orients one self in the system called the OODA loop.
While I am sure all Conservatives and Liberals believes that social media will compensate for the inconvenience of actually showing up for work, in your heart you must know that just is not so.
It is just so much hot air coming out of our backsides, without the help of jet-packs.
