Besides these credentials, Miles is perhaps the most optimistic person I know. I am honored to count him as my friend for over forty years,

After a little thought, I realized this is a deceptively complicated question.   Should I answer with how I hope we will live, or with my best guess of how we will probably live.   Also, when is tomorrow?   Next year?  Next decade?  Next century?  Next millennium?   I decided that how I hope we will live and how I think we will live is almost the same thing.   That makes me extremely optimistic, but that’s just who I am.   I will chose to interpret “tomorrow” as 100 years from now.

Tomorrow we will live in a much more unified, happier, more prosperous, and more rapidly growing world.  Ultra high definition cameras will be everywhere, even in the poorest countries.   Everyone on earth will have the instant capability to record and transfer real time video for permanent storage on the world cloud.  The resolution will enable easy identification of individual faces even at long ranges.  No individual or country will be able to prevent this from happening.   This will result in greatly reducing bad actions by individuals, groups, agencies, and countries.

Low cost access to space will have resulted in a significant fraction of the Earth’s population moving off the Earth and bringing both energy and resources back to Earth.   Resources, energy, water, and scarcity of land will no longer be problems.  The psychological impact of the infinite frontier of space will be continuously lessening individual, ethnic, and international tensions.
