We are entering an era of superabundance but few seem to notice it

In the past people used to buy radios, spotlights, recorders, cameras, thermometers, newspapers, TVs, etc separately, all that is now in your smartphone.

How else can you define the saving of resources?

Right now there is a wave of inflation across the globe, this has been driven largely by high energy prices and food.

However, what people do not seem to notice is the silent revolution of the low cost of living coming.

Right now as we speak this month, an automaker named Horizon just launched Nesta S EV that can do a 1000km range per charge.

It would cost about $10 to charge that car in many countries. Comparatively, it would cost one over $150 to do a 1000km range with a combustion engine car.

Where I come from in the village, people no longer use paraffin to light their lamps at night. Everyone now uses solar lamps. They do not have expenses for lighting at all.

At the same time, education has become even cheaper. Last week in my country Kenya, the government registered the first open university which is fully remote where the cost of education is cheaper by two-thirds.

Food inflation was caused by the war Eastern Europe and drought in most parts of the world.

Food will continue to be a challenge until irrigation is fully addressed and seawater desalinization is common place.

However, in general, technology is bringing down the cost of living with AI helping to bring abundance in productivity and health care, especially in diagnosis.
