Video: Future by design

I just came across this video, and thought this is worth sharing.

This documentary is called "Future by design" and looks at the life and designs of futurist, inventor, and architectural designer Jacque Fresco, along with his vision for the future which suggests using automation and technology to benefit people, a high standard of living for all, and no more warfare amongst other things.

Among the many things discussed and advocated in this video include renewable energy sources, ion propulsion engines, supersonic maglev trains, new designs for cars, automated construction of buildings, circular cities, self-cleaning houses, undersea cities, automating everything as much as possible, eliminating repetitive work, and a resource-based moneyless economy (which sounds to me very similar to Star Trek).

What do you think about the ideas discussed in the video? Feel free to have your say.
