Well, I'm 100% onboard with your perspective on the march of technology, and how it will change the way pretty much *everything* is produced. I see it happening, on a daily basis, all around us.

My skepticism sets in at a different level: What I do *NOT* see happening is the company supplying electricity in 2030 — which might become completely robotic and gets its *"raw materials"* from the sun — saying *"Gee, since it now only costs us 1/2c per KWH to create electricity, we're going to cut your power bill by 75%!"* I think we'll *still* get our monthly $200 power bill, while a small handful of people will pocket the 75% savings as personal profit. 

*Technology* is doing just *fine* and is changing the world... it's the *people and mindset* that goes with *"Predatory Capitalism"* that needs to change, before any of us actually *benefit* from these emerging technologies...

Of course, that's just my *opinion...*
