4. Inevitability of New Economics Concentration of wealth is increasing Income gaps are widening Employment-less economic growth seems the new normal Return on investment in capital and technology is usually better than labor Will future technologies create or replace more jobs? 50% unemployment is a business-as-usual forecast without new economic approaches If so, will some form of guaranteed income be necessary?

5. By 2050 everyone is connected to the future Internet and everyone is surrounded by a 9.6 billion person market Will we teach people to find markets worldwide for self-employment ?

6. One-Person Businesses Find markets around the world for what you are interested in doing not non-existing jobs What could this look like in 2050?

7. You are invited to a current study on these issues: https://themp.org/rtd/future_worktechnology_2050 /

8. Some Elements of Next Economic System Capitalist/socialist/communist systems are early industrial age economic systems Millennium Project study on 35 elements that might help shape the next economic system, some examples Non-ownership, as distinct from private ownership or collective/state ownership (e.g. current open source software) Simultaneous knowing – time lags changed or eliminated in information dissemination with much greater transparency. Alternatives to continuously creating artificial demand and growth One-Person Business - Self-employment via the Internet—individuals seek markets for their abilities rather than jobs Collective intelligence: global commons for the knowledge economy

9. Collective Intelligence Systems: Each Can Change the Other

11. Our eye glasses, microscopes, telescopes have affected our consciousness for years – How might future technologies affect our consciousness?

12. Humans becoming cyborgs 1985 2000 2015 2030 Conscious-Technology Built environment becoming intelligent When the distinction between these two trends becomes blurred, we will have reached the Post-Information Age
