RE: Life In 2050: 6 Areas Of Near Zero Costs

For computation, I do agree that new chips will improve it's speed but I think one of the biggest problem is reducing the size. Eventually I do not think we will have the exponential growth as it is hard to keep up. You have to consistently make the chip smaller and improve it's performance. I think the norm after a while will probably be more linear.

there is progress being made with fusion and geothermal

I completely agree that fusion and geothermal energy is important. If some issue occurs and we can't generate solar or wind power (due to snow storm or other factors), we need an alternative energy source. If we can accomplish that, energy costs should go down significantly.

I think information and communication go together as it are so intertwined that I can't separate them. But I completely agree that it is constantly improving and costs are also lowered.

Since salt water is abundant, this will provide billions with clean, inexpensive drinking water.

I want this process to not destroy the ecosystem if possible. I don't exactly trust those corporations and governments to do things properly. I do agree that the water shortage is definitely one of our more pressing issues but technology should solve it eventually.

Autonomous vehicles will change everything

I am fully expecting Tesla's autonomous taxi network to drive innovation in this space. I think everyone knows that a self-driving car can be pretty useful.

Organic material takes care of this. It allows for much smaller size, faster processing, and even more storage.

The present challenge: ridiculous cost.

In the meantime, do not overlook 3D chips and building the architecture upward.

A lot going on in that area so it is one of my least concerns. Too many companies and interested parties working on it. We know someone will solve it.
