    Honestly with 3D printers being able to print 3D printers, at some point a
    robot will just print either repair parts and fix the other robot, or just print an
    entirely new one.

    I think the basic tech repair jobs will also vanish at some point.

    I see a future where all the jobs, but the ones of raw creation are done by machines.

    There are even prototype robotic surgery bots at this time....what will it be in 50 more years ???

    In the future ppl won't buy a new cellphone, they will simple print one, thou that tech may be replaced
    with something closer to techno-telepathy as the human mind merges with a silicon one.

    The energy problem has been solved in several ways, they are all being held back
    by ppl who are getting rich off the current paradigm.

    Our current situation is largely due to ppl protecting their goose that lays the golden eggs.

    1) Geothermal - could power the world many times over
