It seems safe to say that as more and more technology becomes available to help people stay healthy and alive, medicine will continue to get more expensive. Or maybe medicine will essentially become an information technology where Moore's Law applies and costs will go down, as Kurzweil predicted.

Or maybe we will need more and more education as job hopping becomes the norm and wrangling all different sorts of technology becomes the lot of pretty much everyone who wants to earn more than the universal basic income.
