Mundane Singularity

What is possible even without AGI and Molecular Nanotechnology?

What can be achieved without these?

• Economic abundance• Radical life extension• Physical and Cognitive enhancement• Blood Stream Robots• Supermaterials• Open Access to space• Pollution elimination• Computer Advancement• Shape changing functional devices like utility fog

Helpful Technologies and Policies• 1. Pro-growth Policies

2. Energy Efficiency - superconductors, thermoelectrics, improved grid3. Energy Revolution - Mass produced fission, fusion, and maybe cold fusion 4. Additive manufacturing5. Not so mundane - neuromorphic chips, quantum computers, photonics6. Automated transportation (leading to robotic cars and planes)7. Urbanization MegaCities 8. Urbanization Broad Group skyscrapers, Tata flat packed buildings9. Robotics10. Hyperbroadband11. Sensors everywhere12. Supermaterials 13. Improve medicine and public health14. Space15. Synthetic biology and recombineering16. Education transformed and accelerated innovation17. Supersmartphones, exoskeletons and wearable systems
