I think it is kind of an interesting contradiction, that technological advance and maturity will lead to increased industrial efficiency, but will also reduce demand for workers. The standard of living you would think should go up as the world is able to produce more at less cost, but it's actually not that simple. I think that a lack of work, and economic frustrations will probably inspire a new attempt at either Socialism, or Communism, or something similar.
