This article shows sequences of technological progress driven primarily by materials and energy technologies, science and technologies of information, and molecular biology. It describes how technology affects the kinds of wealth in the natural economy including humanity, and foreseeable future.

Summary Talk of "Martin Rees asks: Is this our final century?"

Science in this era has revolutionized the world as well as character and genes of human beings. Also, the human nowadays creates environmental problems. The effective tools: bio- and cybertechnologies have pros and cons to heal or destroy the global environment depending on the purpose of usage. Likewise, the rising human population has accelerated the global transformation. For example, telecommunication has directly impacted on the planet space by setting the radio waves transmissions. To protect humane, global, and future is to properly apply the novel science and old knowledge to reflect the productive outcome for our Earth and far beyond.
