The author gives a lot of reasons that we continue to have improved lives. I think most of these are true. However, I do believe that he is missing some negatives. Out sense of privacy, independence, and freedom in many regards have decreased. I think it is possible that we have indeed reached a time when things could go south. We could over-pollute the world. We could over-regulate the world.

Past trends are not future trends. I think the author has forgotten this. But we shall see if he continues.
