(Level 3 of Smile Longer: Expect breakthroughs) First it will happen for the 1%, then for the “rest of us,” the timeline predicts.
- By 2030, “Humanity has achieved ‘Longevity Escape Velocity’ for the wealthiest.” That’s when technical advances start increasing life expectancy by more than one year per year.

The timeline covers many developments, from AI to smart cities, in our fast-evolving society. It’s available here:
