This document discusses how mindsets are shifting from scarcity to abundance due to technological progress. It notes that the cost of technologies like computing, transportation, and communication have decreased exponentially over the past century while lifespan, food costs, and other resources have increased. It argues we are moving from an industrial to information age where available resources and attention are abundant rather than scarce. The youth now growing up in this environment will shape our future through their curiosity, creativity, and ability to adapt to rapid change.
