The predictable results of success in educating and connecting a generation of children are these.

  • We are looking at the possibility of ending poverty as we know it within a generation, except in the most repressive countries (Burma and North Korea are the most likely, but a few others might possibly regress).
  • We are doing this by means that promise far freer markets, with
    • Market access for all, at least for electronic markets, including easy entry and exit
    • General availability of essential economic information, including the price of almost anything right up to the moment
    • General availability of production technologies, except where embargoes linger (Cuba, Burma, Syria, Iran, North Korea and a few others)
In short, these and a few other points add up to the closest approximation to the economic ideal of Perfect Competition ever seen, worldwide. We can confidently predict the largest explosion of productivity and prosperity ever seen, and at some point the end of the continual search for ever-more-benighted denizens of ever-poorer countries to ship jobs off to. The existence of wage differentials between countries is conclusive proof that their market relations are not free.

  • A complete communications network, in which every person will have the means to connect with any other person who answers the phone.
  • Directories and social network sites that enable everybody to find the right people to do business with and make alliances with for any economic, social, spiritual, or political purpose.
  • We can confidently predict an explosive growth of civil society organizations worldwide, among other things.
