Without companies which produce goods for the society, how much the advertising budget will decrease? 

- How about energy? What can people with energy in 10 years? What if plants can be grown in the ocean, if energy from waves can be used much better (how much energy from the sea can we use. Surely, a very little part of it is being used now), and if there is technology to desalt water from the sea to provide clean water for the world?
