Yes I know that's what you want to happen but it's not very likely, we're not really short of anything that we don't have a dozen other options for.

We'll have oceanic floating factories harvesting sunlight and turning sea water into jet fuel and carbon fibre Christmas toys before consumerism gets close to admitting defeat.

If you want to change society I'm afraid you have to do the hard thing of coming up with a better idea and convincing people to try it.

I hope we do pull off a 90th minute 720 backflip into futurist utopia, that would be mega. But until people start doing basic stuff like voting in their interest, I'm going to prepare for the worst.
