Part of my job as an investor is to try to imagine what the future could look like. So today, I spent a little time daydreaming…

Here are 3 technologies I think could change the world completely — for the better.

1) Ageless fertility. Women in America are having children later and later. And if a woman has her first child at 35, she may not be able to have as many as she’d like.

But what if we removed the age issue completely?

A woman could work hard and enjoy life, settling down only if and when she’s truly ready. She could then have a baby at 50, secure in her career and mature enough to handle the challenges of motherhood.

More kids would be brought up in stable homes with plenty of financial resources. More women would be able to do what they want with their lives.

Technology that could make a 50 year old woman as fertile as a 25 year old, that’s a true game changer.

I’m not sure where the solution lies — hormone treatments, rejuvenation of eggs, something else? But I’m pretty sure that some day, we’ll find it.

2) Drastically cheaper housing. I bet I can guess what your biggest bill is: rent or mortgage, right?

It sure is for me! Housing here in the pricey New York area consumes about half my total budget.

But what if we could make housing so cheap you’d barely notice your mortgage payment? What if the average $3,000 payment became more like $300?

“That’s nuts, Francis.” I know, it sounds far-fetched.

But imagine a future with houses rapidly manufactured at scale, like smartphones today. The first smartphone, the original iPhone, cost $733 in today’s dollars.

Today, my Android phone from Motorola cost a mere $100. And it would dance circles around that 2007 iPhone.

Perhaps the houses of the future will be made of different materials, like ultrahard plastics or mycelium. What if they were 3D printed, or even grown organically on a substrate?

But to make this vision of dirt cheap housing real, we also need political change. Restrictive zoning is one of the biggest drivers of housing costs.

I wonder if tech can help there too…

3) Humanoid robots. The world population is expected to peak around 2080. So who’s going to do all the work?

The most likely candidate is a humanoid robot.

Humans build everything to suit ourselves. From the height of counters to the size of tools, everything is designed at human scale.

To operate in that world, robots need to look like us.

The most impressive humanoid robot I’ve seen is the Figure. With human-like dexterity and a brain by OpenAI, Figure might be the helper we need.

Imagine a world in which every dangerous or boring task is done by a robot. We humans get to do stuff that’s fun and interesting — like write and invest in startups!

Wrap-Up

A world with ageless fertility, cheap housing and robot helpers is a much freer world. We can have kids when we want, live where we want, and do the work we want to do.

I’m excited about meeting companies attacking all of these areas. Let’s make the future awesome!
