Author's note: Some people have read this blog as my utopia or dream of the future. It is not. It is a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse. I wrote this piece to start a discussion about some of the pros and cons of the current technological development. When we are dealing with the future, it is not enough to work with reports. We should start discussions in many new ways. This is the intention with this piece.

Where I get lost in this piece is if all services are free and everything is a service what pays for anything.
The lowest cost of any good is the energy cost of all components plus the human cost of all components. There is no way to get either of these components to zero so human labour will need to be exchanged for money and not everything can be free.
Once not everything is free the vision breaks down.
