  11. I think caregiving deserves a mention. People are living longer, and need someone to take care of them. Having their children, if they have any, taking care of them is becoming less common.

  12. (2:20) Basically, it is hard of us to imagine what kind of new technology would appear or how culture will shift. We are bound by the limitations on what we can experience and observe.
