Status and power will be determined by who is able to give the most - not by who is able
to take the most.
Digitization, virtualization and other methods will make most things abundant.
Most remaining physical possessions will be life sustaining (shelter, clothing,
food and drink).
Most things will be digitized and available to all at no cost (books, entertainment,
knowledge). Many physical objects can't be digitized but plans, methods and processes for making them
can be digitized and made abundant.
People will realize that life's requirements are limited (food, shelter, health, etc.)
and the rest is optional. There will be a trend to use the resource of time for simple and free
pleasurable activities (friendship, a walk in the park, reading a book etc.). Less time will
be spent trying to make money to purchase objects that are not needed for living and which
really provide very little pleasure.
Many jobs will no longer be needed when most things are abundant and people quit
fighting over and protecting scarce physical items.
Governments will switch from trying to control people to trying to encourage people
and from creating scarcity to creating abundance.
Learning, traveling, socializing, and enjoying life will be top priorities.
Education will be lifelong and will be gained as needed rather than trying to
stockpile it in school children.
Deliberate waste will be a crime.
Property and possessions will be more of a burden and a danger than a source of wealth.
The overpopulation problem will be solved when people stop needing a large family to
overcome an uncertain economy and to take care of them in their old age.
Many negative things will be eliminated (war, theft, poverty, starvation, fear etc.).
