Imagine a life in the next few decades when everything will become robotic, magnetic and kinetic, and when information will spread across borders and e-commerce will remove barriers. We will embark on an age of artificial intelligence, quantum computing and machine learning, to nano and techno. E-currency will ensure solutions to most problems. The fittest will survive, that is tech-savvy countries will progress, and all other countries that lag behind will have to deal with the menace of poverty and scarcity.
