    To piggyback in this, there will be organic technology created: computers using synapses, muscles powering things, etc.

      It’s bound to happen in one way or another. I’d put that more than a decade out, though. Providing a nutritionally appropriate blood supply is a deal-killer for existing muscle tissues, and you can’t really design artificial bloodless muscles until the reverse engineering is done.

      We might have de-novo cultivated crops ready to commercialise by 2035 (that’s wild plants genetically engineered to be commercially useful).
