Six key drivers of humanity's progress are headed towards ZERO cost. The basic idea is that six key drivers of humanity’s progress—computing, communications, information, energy, water and transportation—are headed toward zero cost. While computing power obviously isn’t free, as anyone buying a smartphone knows, it looks almost free from any historical distance. If Moore’s Law remains a guide, computing power would double about 20 times in the next 30 years. Remember, electricity is heading towards zero cost, and all these cars and trucks will be powered by batteries, so fuel is no longer an expense.
