What is the next age? (i.e., industrial age)

[Anomalocaris]

We are already in space age.

We are not in space age till we have the space force (with multi-coloured slow-moving inaccurate laser weapons).

But see, from my perspective the upcoming technological revolutions and the social changes it causes are still part of the current age. I am more interested in what happens after that

If by what happens after that, you mean what happens after all trends that can be discerned now have run their courses, then by definition it is impossible to have any grounded and informed opinion about what happens after that.

But if you define the start of a new age as when a new factor begins to dramatically alter roles and ways of life of much of the composition of the society, then I assert the new age will be when connectivity, cybernetics and genetic engineering erases much of the concept of privacy and individual identity.

Instead of being conditioned by our biology to perceive the world first and foremost as an individual, connectivity will begin to make the amalgamation of individual into collective occur at the most elementary cognitive and perceptual level. At the same time cybernetics and genetic engineering will increasingly enable us to tailor ourselves eventually we will bear little resemblance in appearance, behavior, life cycle, and instinct from both what the original homosapien gene pool would have had these, and from each other.

I think it’s quite possible in a couple of centuries one human being will be as different from anotherbin appearance, capability, and role as a lathe is different from a 3D printer, and both can perceive eachother seamlessly as if the other were oneself and collaborate over connectivity with no more bandwidth and information content bottleneck between two individuals as between two thoughts in one single brain.
