> Image 1: Picture the human family at the seaside, our backs to the ocean, building sand castles, playing beach cricket, having a fine time in the sun. Behind us, unseen on the horizon, huge currents are converging, separate but each feeding and swelling the others to form one unimaginably colossal tsunami.<p>Most of the waves were obvious for decades, it's only A.I. which was the most unexpected and the most recent one.<p>The five waves are roughly: Genetic engineering, A.I., Robotics, Bitcoin and Graphene. Genetic engineering will replace food production, pharmacy drugs and narcotic production. A.I. will replace some difficult human thought processes, and all the easy ones. Bitcoin will replace any kind of organization, like identities, money, stock markets, bond markets and more. Robots will replace human labor, the small amount left from all the other waves. Graphene will replace some percentage of metallurgy and plastic, and will help to greatly simplify the production of airplanes or just wings, housing, microchips etc.<p>Returning to the happy family image, the human family will be a lot larger if by using genetic engineering women give birth to 10 children at once, instead of 1 or 2. Then every parent will have 100 kids, and naming them is gonna be a challenge. Parents will name their kids with the same name, "Mike" for example, and every time they go to the beach, 100 little Mikes are gonna build some big castles.
