You are now going to far with your starry eyed optimism. The world has had enough abundance for a long time to feed the starving, clothe the poor, and house the homeless. Are you implying that technology will somehow facilitate the redistribution of wealth? These are political, not technical questions. If you give every "poor" person an internet phone it won't make them any better off than if every household had a printing press at the time of Gutenberg. Bioengineering can certainly assure abundant food supplies, etc., but it is the political systems of seperate nations which prevent equitable distribution. Remember the great socialist experiments have not worked so far. Technological socialism won't work either, but technologically based tyranny might. These are evidently concepts which you don't understand any better than George Gilder.
