The Venus Project (a future society without money) I came across this, which looks Highly intriguing, and thought you guys should take a look as well. This person's ideas are somewhat similar to thoughts I've been having myself, to wit....what will our lives be like after the full extent of computers+robots+internet-ising have been unleashed on humanity? I'd appreciate all of yours' opinion on it:

I'll be long dead before the full extent of "computers+robots+internet-using" is unleashed on humanity so as much as I'm interested in how yesterday's science fiction is today's science fact, it's kind of pointless for me to think of what the future holds when I'll never see it anyway. | |

The idea that there will ever be a world without currency of some kind is a pipe dream. You think the robots won't want to be paid? Guess again.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The first statement: Yes, that was initially my reaction as well - like, how do you measure *Work*? Through currency, right? If people can just *get* whatever they want without paying, then they'll just.....Do Nothing, rest of their lives......? That system can't work.....? | |

I'm 28 now. I'd say, if I'm lucky, I'll have another 40 - 50 years left. Technology does move fast but, as I said, by the time (and this is a quote from you) "the FULL EXTENT of computers+robots+internet-using is unleashed on humanity", I will be long dead. Because it will take a lot more than 40 - 50 years for that to happen. That's what "the hell I'm talking about". | |

Internet-ISING, not USING.

https://www.youtube.com/w...PvjucZPZLM My phone auto-corrected it to "using" because "internet-ising" is not a word. But I know what you meant. These links don't show anything close to the "FULL EXTENT" of technology being "unleashed on humanity". It will take a lot longer than 40 - 50 years for that. | |

Emma: OK, how would you define "FULL EXTENT"? What more would you have the computers do? | |

What does that mean, exactly? What would they be doing at that point? | |
