Technological progress will closely relate economic, social, and environmental progress as broadband access expands and policies promote sustainability. Always-on digital access will reduce the digital divide. Cities will be dynamic and accessible with high-speed transportation reducing geographical barriers. They will also be environmentally oriented with remote employment lowering traffic and pollution while waste recycling creates jobs.
