These statistics are just a snapshot of how people feel at the moment. They show a group of newly industrialized countries like China, Brazil and India, where people feel, things are going to get better. And a group of post-industrial countries - countries which no longer rely on heavy industry, like the US, Span and France — where people think that in thirty years, things will have got considerably worse. In this way, they just reflect the current economic climate in these countries: the first group has growing economies, the second group is going through more challenging times. But the situation is very likely to change. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that things are about to change. I'm saying that in thirty years or so. Western economies certainly won't be doing the same things they are doing now, relying on service sector industries like banking and insurance. If we are to progress, the post-industrial economy will have to evolve. And I think that will happen when we will use creative thinking and technology to overcome the problems that we are all bound to face in the future: problems of overpopulation, scarcity of resources, environmental change. A better standard of living in the post-industrialized nations may or may not come out of that, but I believe that a better quality of life, for all nations, almost certainly Will.
