LOL, looking forward to the day when everyone starts considering the possibility of everything being free, via easy access to limitless resources. #Basicincome #UBI will ensure a smooth transition. UBI is mentioned in the following article.

Zoltan Istvan writing in Tech Crunch (29 March 2016):  "If 90 percent of human jobs are replaced by robots in the next 50 years — something now considered plausible — is capitalism still the ideal economic system to champion? No one is certain about the answer, but the question is making everyone nervous — and forcing people to dig deep inside themselves to discover the kind of future they want."

"Whichever system we choose will have to incorporate an improving standard of life for people and society. For this reason, I tend to support a Universal Basic Income as one way to desire robots to take our jobs but not leave the world poor. However, that doesn’t really say what will happen to economies after the robot revolution is really underway." 

Zoltan seems to touch upon the idea of everything being free in the following quote: "In fact, I doubt money will even survive this century. If anything, in the future, only knowledge will have tradable value — the knowledge to create better machines, software and experiences from technology." http://techcrunch.com/2016/03/29/will-capitalism-survive-the-robot-revolution/

Wired reported (3 Feb 2015) on how science-fiction is becoming real, science fact. The seemingly impossible becomes real. Prepare for a revolution.

"In the field of medicine, 3D printing of complex living tissues, commonly known as bioprinting, is opening up new avenues for regenerative medicine. With an improved understanding of this technology, researchers are even trying to catalyze the natural healing mechanism of the body by creating porous structures that aid in bone stabilization in the field of orthopedics. This cutting edge technology in conjunction with stem cell research is likely to revolutionize the made-to-order organs, cutting across the transplant waiting lists. Even intricate human body parts like the brain can be replicated using the 3D technology to aid in complex medical surgeries through simulation."
