Liaizon Wakest (npub15xt…rneh) The trouble is that we know almost nothing about the needs of people in 2123, but we know a lot about the needs that exist now. So it does make sense to focus efforts more on the near term, rather than to put a lot of effort into something which it may turn out that the future doesn't need.
I think a reasonable prediction is that the next few decades are going to be very turbulent as climate change really kicks in. So mass migrations, wars, coastal cities disappearing under the rising sea, disrupted food supplies. The most approproate tech is going to be things which can be deployed in emergency conditions and which are robust to intermittent connectivity.
