The document discusses the potential impacts of the next industrial revolution driven by exponential technologies such as solar energy, artificial intelligence, and robotics. It outlines a future where essentials like food, water, healthcare, and education become nearly free, with robots performing tasks traditionally done by humans. The text emphasizes the shift towards ambitious human endeavors as basic needs are met, including terraforming and colonization of other planets.

2. WE ARE NOW IN WHAT
SOME ARE CALLING THE
NEXT INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION.
In this time, we are
experiencing exponentials
more than at any other time
in history.
An example of this is the
exponential decrease in the
cost of solar electricity
generating technology:
the cost of electricity will, in
our lifetime, tend to zero.

3. This not only allows us to
solve our own electricity
challenges here in South
Africa but opens many
possibilities on how we solve
other challenges such as
water security.
WITH THE COST OF
ELECTRICITY TENDING TO
ZERO THE BUSINESS CASE
FOR LARGE SCALE
DESALINATION PLANTS
MORE REALISTIC.
Given that South Africa has
just survived the worst drought
in living memory many people
are now conscious of water
security and are looking for
their own solutions.

4. EXPONENTIALS
I've just described some
of the positive effects of
exponentials. There are
going to be some effects
that will be harder
humanity to deal with.
Let's consider another
exponential that
encapsulates:
ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE,
DEEP LEARNING
ROBOTICS.

5. We already have driverless
cars, experiments on primitive
driverless cars began in the
1920's - the technology is now
mainstream.
WHETHER HUMAN BEINGS
ARE READY FOR THEM IS
ANOTHER QUESTION.
The impact driverless cars
have is profound, firstly we no
longer need human drivers,
secondly, we have fewer
accidents as computers driver
better than humans and thirdly
all our current motor vehicles
become obsolete and have
little value other than in remote
areas of the world.

7. LET'S EXTEND A BIT
FURTHER INTO
ROBOTICS AND
GENETICS.
• Robots will replace human
farmers as they will be able to
manage the entire farm.
• Crops will be farmed as raw
materials for the advanced food
printing technology.
• Animals will no longer be farmed
as any protein can now be
printed more cost effectively.
• Maintenance robots will maintain
other robots as well as
themselves. Food will be almost
free as costs for electricity,
• Water and robots are negligible.

8. In this time of abundance
human beings will live in
homes built by machines,
food, water, healthcare and
education will all be free.
Disease will be eradicated by
genetic medicine that is
printed at home after
diagnosis by doctor robots.
Our children will all have
online tutors who are
dedicated and configured to
optimally educate each child.
Humans may take real
holidays from time to time but
mostly they will prefer
alternative reality holidays
that they can take from the
comfort of their homes.

9. IN THIS TIME OF
GREAT ABUNDANCE
human beings have lots
of time on their hands.
With many needs met,
people are looking to
find purpose in their
lives. There are many
schools of thought
around what we as
humans will be focusing
on.
I believe that the simple
answer is that humans
will be looking forward
at bigger challenges.

10. HUMANITY HAS
THE GIFT OF BEING
ABLE TO MANIFEST
TO THE EXTENT OF
IMAGINATION
and now there will be
focus on terraforming
deserts on Earth into
arable land, colonization
of the Moon and Mars.
Since very few people
have volunteered for
Moon and Mars missions
the robots are sent to
establish good living
conditions before humans
move in earnest.

11. Genetically modified plants and
animals extract poisons from our
waterways.
Ecosystems begin to re-establish after
animal farming stops.
Nature reserves still exist to contain
the more dangerous animals.
Exponentials are the key to these
dramatic shifts in the world and these
changes may happen faster than we
think.
WE ARE EXPERIENCING
EXPONENTIALS IN ALMOST EVERY
ASPECT OF OUR LIVES, LOOK
FORWARD TO PROFOUND
POSITIVE CHANGES FOR BOTH
HUMANITY AND THE EARTH
SOON.
