If you think of retirement as the end of your life, time to wind down physically and mentally as you march steadily onward toward death, then yeah, you'll get bored and soon look forward to dying. But if you look at retirement as doing what you really WANT to do rather than what you HAVE to do (like I do), then it's like opening up a new world of possibilities. And if we could become youthful again, the possibilities would open up further. You don't have to be under someone else's whip; you can find your own motivation by following your passions. Of course, if you don't have any passions, well then yes, you might as well die.
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
