Do you believe that one day we will have a relatively equal society?

To be more specific do you think poverty can ever be eliminated? If you look at the poor in western countries they are living like kings in comparison to what the poor lived like say 100 years ago. While the living standard may have risen they are still considered poor by modern standards. The gap has maybe closed but the inequality remains.

Will technology one day make all menial work redundant so humans will only work in highly skilled positions where pay will be equal? Small populations of highly educated equal individuals, achieved perhaps through the use of genetic modification?
