Techno Utopia - principles

I was just reading this on wikipedia and found it very interesting:

Principles

Bernard Gendron, a professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, defines the four principles of modern technological utopians as follows:[8]

We are presently undergoing a (postindustrial) revolution in technology;
In the postindustrial age, technological growth will be sustained (at least);
In the postindustrial age, technological growth will lead to the end of economic scarcity;
The elimination of economic scarcity will lead to the elimination of every major social evil.

Particularly the last point, that the elimination of economic scarcity will end social evils, I found to be very interesting. Not only does that reflect my views but a lot of others as well.
