Future View: When Aidan is 27 and Liam is 24 By 2009 computers will disappear . Visual information will be written directly onto our retinas by devices in our eyeglasses or contact lenses. Going to a “website” will mean entering a virtual reality environment. By 2029 we will have billions of nanobots traveling through the capillaries of our brain communicating directly with our biological neurons. Nanobots will take up positions close to very interneuronal connection coming from all of our biological sensory receptors. When we want to experience NON-VIRTUAL reality, the nanobots will just stay still. If we want to experience virtual reality, they will suppress all input coming from the real senses and replace them with the appropriate signals Ray Kurzweil

A Paradigm Shattering Future View: Redux The way Kurzweil expressed it, at some point in time in the twenty-first century the standard personal computing device will have as much computing power as the human brain. Not long after that, it will have the computing power of all the human brains that have ever lived. One important use of all that power will be to upload brains and recreate consciousness inside silicon….. The place that I call “Game World” today, may develop into much more that a game in the near future. It may become just another place for the mind to be, a new and different earth. Castranova

Economic: Services Rule A Services Driven Economy…… Since 1950, employment in the manufacturing sector has fallen from nearly 40% of total employment to less than 18% currently, while the service sector employment has risen from less than 14% to more than 35 percent, essentially flip-flopping from where it had been in 1950. Merrill Lynch, 1999 … largely driven by technology positions requiring more skilled workers The demand skilled jobs, which reflects the dominance of technology in the service economy, has increased from 40% in 1950 to 85% in 2000.

Economic: People are classified as a cost by accountants not an asset! Accountants value the desk more highly than the person sitting at it . Accounting takes a short-term view of the world. It does not recognize that people become more valuable over time.
