You propose a centralized world which I disagree with. The future is moving in the other direction.
The challenge is that is one thing corporation and physical governments are going to be the structures of the future, then what happens if there is something completely different.

But if you have no idea what the DAO is, then I can see why your point of view.
If we look at the last 40 years and see how the world changed due to the semiconductor, we can start the process of forecasting what the next few decades will look like.
This is where AI and robotics seem to be at point of massive acceleration. It was always happening but not at a noticeable level.
