Maxims:

1. The principle(or say, the universe, the God) does everything for nothing.
道 常 无 为 而 无 不 为。
2. One will only be great if he never struggles for being great.
以 其 终 不 自 为 大 ， 故 能 成 其 大。
3. The spirit (or say idea) may be accepted over the world without the body's travelling around.
足 不 出 户 而 道 行 于 千 里 之 外。

 
Wisdom is born on a planet. However, wisdom will finally take a born from the womb of the mother planet, and sets steps into the universe. So do we human being on the earth. And this will happen within several hundred years.
Technologies that change the life of human beings - past and future:
PAST Period
Steam engine First benefit from the gift of ancient energy storage. Machine era. Manufacture revolution. Limit of body power was exceeded. Handicraft industry was taken over on market by mechanical industry. 1765 - 1850 - 1900
Mobile engine Transportation revolution. Limit of animal transport was exceeded. Animal transportation and animal labor were taken over by vehicles. Oversea transportation becomes common. First shrink of the earth. First round of global orbit distribution. 1825 - 1900 - 1935
Electronic communication Instant information transfer. Communication revolution. Global esses became manageable. First spark of global merchandise network and global benefit. Global orbit re-distribution. Information monopoly was consolidated. 1845 - 1925 - 1960
Electricity Separation of power production and power consumption. Power revolution. Huge power plant became true. Large amount of small engines were washed out. Power distribution became trivial. Large manufactories became true. Small arms pervaded. Global orbit weakened. 1885 - 1935 - 1970
Aircraft Dimension revolution. Human being grew up from 2 dimensions animal to virtually 3 dimensions living being. Difference of front line and backside reduced. Fast force delivery became true. Second shrink of the earth. Global orbit re-distribution. 1905 - 1970 - 1990
Semiconductor Information revolution. Electronics became popular. Information technology became a big industry. Advertisement became a big industry. Traditional media got a competitor. Information monopoly was weaken. Global orbit weakened. 1945 - 1975 - 2005
NOW
Computer Automatization revolution. Limit of human stamina is exceed. Machine can repeat complex work accurately without instant human supervising. Great enhancement to labor productivity. Industrialist becomes a white collar occupation. Low educated labors aree no longer hired in industries employing high level automatization. Global industry distribution is re-located. Knowledge copyright bacomes critical. No country is still able to produce everything it needs. Global economy relation is set. 1945 - 1980 - 2010
Computer network Finance revolution. Cash flow reaches an incredible scale. International money stolen also inceases up to an incredible scale. International freedom of trading is challenged. More rulers are being set up. Credit, identification, etc., are all being reformed. 1970 - 1990 - 2040
FUTURE
Family automatization This is a natural trend of developing. It will become an official business and education revolution. Many group activities no longer need the appearance in person. Cost of human transportation will be obviously reduced. Many persons will be able to relocate away from urban area.2000 - 2030 - 2080
Universal identification This is a very high level global cooperation. It will become a security revolution. International crisis and most of misdeed will be eliminated. War and threaten of war will no longer be a useful tool in international politics because the economical correlation will be so tight that nobody can break the balance without getting bigger lost. All other identification and authorization will demise.2020 - 2060 - 2100
Smart manufacture Since the development of global economy, no source of cheap labor is present to produce cheap labor condensed products. The products of smart small scale manufacture will be comparible in price. This will become a de-manufacture revolution. Nothing in material will have to be made by hand except artworks. Blue collar works will be eliminated. All population will be well educated. Large scale of resource will be relocated in research and development and space exploring. 2030 - 2090 - 2150
Space living Under above technology, space station will be able to provide nearly anything it needs. This is the last revolution human being will make on the earth. A take-off revolution. Then the space era will start. We will take much longer to fully occupy the solar system and develop capability of interstellar immigration. 2050 - 2200 - 2800
