> People thought we’d have moon bases and flying cars by now, too.
Yup. And the reason we don't have them is because they don't make economic sense – not because they are technologically impossible, or even particularly difficult. Flying car prototypes that work have been around for decades, and moon bases would have been feasible in the 1970s.
But replacing most knowledge workers at 0.1% of their cost certainly does make economic sense, so I have no doubt it will happen even sooner than the most daring predictions suggest.
