High automation everywhere. People may do something by hand, but indirect control absolutely prevails.
Men and women equally able to work everywhere, since there are enough tools to do every job for physiologically different people.
Little dependence on organic peculiarities of the people. Any kind of physiology can be artificially compensated to enable any activity.
Far perspective: deliberate construction of the body to adapt to the current environment.
Everlasting life if needed. Terminating any bodily form at will under proper circumstances, as conscious act.
Any industrial or cultural process is organized to run smoothly, at the highest rate possible. No artificial obstacles to regulate the flow. Consequently, low level of vibration and general mess - both literally and metaphorically.
Well-calculated transit and optimized flows of material articles and information.
New ways of travel and transport.
Space travel as a usual event. The Moon and the planets brought under the human control. The most efficient utilization of the energy of the Sun, without wasting it into space.
The major part of communications in the information domain. Material transport reduced to minimum, as well as personal travel. Life and economy are organized so that there is no need to be present somewhere in person to participate in any activity.
Highly developed means of communication accessible to anybody. A global information network as a universal communication system. Individual contacts possible at any time, using the small portable devices, possibly implanted in the human body and physiologically controlled.
Maximum flexibility in anything. No rigid and cumbrous installations, just small modules adjustable to perform numerous functions.
Universality of constructions. Every thing can be easily adapted for everybody's usage.
Most things designed for individual use. Mass products with much flexibility and possibility of adjustment.
Advanced technologies of waste utilization. Every thing recyclable. Utilization engineering of primary importance for the society.
Prompt provision of any needs and wants, without requiring too much effort to get anything.
High technologies for ensuring the privacy of the people. Anybody must be able to do everything without disturbing the others.
Space exploration as one of the most important directions of expansion.
The planets of the Solar system will be cultivated, and the economy will use the specific conditions in the space and on the planets for more efficient production. Traffic between the planets.
Populating the far space will require building numerous space stations all over the inhabited part of the galaxy. These stations are to live in synch, but virtually there will be no absolute center, every discovery propagating from its source to all the rest of the network. The Great Ring of inhabited worlds, the replicas of the same society.
Enough technological energy. All the solar radiation utilized, the Sun becoming invisible for the outer observer. The dissipation of extra energy connected to the humanities spreading into the far space.
People do not need to be physically present at the working site. Telecommunication brings them to everywhere without any need for bodily transportation. One can control several industrial processes, while taking a bath, or walking in the forest...
Complete weather control. Planned weather.
Geophysical processes under complete monitoring and control. No earthquakes, since all the tensions get artificially dischanged in a safe way. Vulcanos utilized as a source of technological energy and valuable minerals.
Technology on the molecular and atomic level. Deliberate rearrangement of atoms to achieve the desired effect. Programmable "assemblers" in every home, to produce anything from raw materials, without the need to supply ready-made goods. This will largely eliminate the need in mass production.
Powerful computers of a microscopic size. They will be built in the common things to add flexibility to their usage. Home networks as intelligent environments of one's everyday life.
