Dear citizen of 2050,

In this year (2050), technology would have reduced physical human efforts a 10,000-fold as compared to 2016.

I would see:

  • more social and economic equity across nations; more food to eat;
  • five times as much water from thrice as many forests and urban greenery;
  • twice as much wildlife;
  • little or no domestic or other waste in public; stiff penalties for industrial and business waste in public;
  • fewer cars and other private vehicles; buses, trains and other public transport available 24 x 7, at affordable prices;
  • no malaria, polio, tuberculosis, and diabetes; affordable health treatment costs;
  • faster public justice and legal systems.
