The gang started with this question: "What are we most looking forward to in the coming years?" Possibilities include d
- The end of aging and other diseases?
- New production technologies and the end of poverty and hunger?
- New energy technologies?
- Technologies to clean up the environment?
- Artificial intelligence?
- Artificial Virtual Worlds?
- The REAL Space Age?
Time only permitted getting through half the list on this program. Sunday they will finish working through the list and discuss what should be on the agenda, how we prioritize the agenda items, and what dependencies exist between them.
Comments
New energy technologies.
Without that the solution to those other problems become problems themselves. If people aren't dying of age and hunger, then they're are consuming energy in one form or another. If there isn't enough motive power to move the dominant apes around this planet, then living forever doesn't sound like as much fun.
