1968 was a very turbulent year in the US and you had worse pollution and a heightened Cold War going on in the background.

The Doomsday Clock was set at 17 minutes then.

Are you for real?

Sure, progress in technology is incremental and hardly noticeable but over long periods of time, tech radically changes people's daily lives.

I see one of three potential paths happening.

Path 1: AI, automation and renewable energy allow humanity to enter into a new Renaissance Era.

Path 2: The modern age collapses and humanity regress into a new Dark Age.

Path 3: Nothing changes. People continue to work and consume. Humanity enters into an age of escapism with virtual reality.
