Nah, bad idea. Some years ago there was a series of documentaries looking at different ideas for the future - the only two I can recall were the Greener future & becoming part of Oz, which was the worst of them all with us becoming a retirement colony where higher education was only available for younger people by moving to Oz.
But the Greener one was one of the best possible futures.
