I seem to remember promises from the '50s and '60s that "technology" would bring us an end to poverty, 20-hour work weeks, and personal helicopters and jet-packs.

Tasty store-bought tomatoes year-round ... that sounds even better than a jet-pack But my first choice would be and end to poverty, or even reduced unemployment. Probably human nature (as reflected in the economy) is even less manageable than tomato genetics.

I don't ever expect to hear that scientists have fully sequenced the human psyche!
