In 30 years, the more likely outcome is:
(1) Robots will perform much of the manual labor once performed by humans, provided that battery pack technology improves significantly.
(2) Computer software will perform much of the white collar work once performed by humans, provided interactive speech software improves significantly.
(3) America’s GDP and tax revenue will rise significantly.
(4) Welfare benefits and the number of people on welfare will continue to go up.
(5) The number of people gainfully employed will continue to go down.

I’d feel better if the guy on the fairway mower or trap rake was a robot just in case I accidently hit into him.
I wonder if my descendants will be Morlock or Eloi.
I hope somebody smart secretly creates a chip that makes a race of atomic supermen. They can then wear Guy Fawkes masks and overthrow the world government.
Nobody puts it together like me.
