I don't think we will get there while we are burdened en masse by the 9-5... but, if entropy itself were ever to be the "last problem left" - I've no doubt that we would solve that problem also. We are far closer to literally living Star Trek lives (without space travel) than we are away from it. Before millennials die we will hear terms like "post scarcity" - assuming we live long enough and society doesn't fall apart.
