What will be the role of debt in the next hundred years? Will indentured servitude return? What do you think will happen to the inequitable distribution of wealth? Are we looking at a more equal and opportunistic future or an even worse one?

1. In the future technology will give more power to the individual and give them options as to whether they want to take the conventional route and go into debt. Institutions like education are increasingly becoming more open source. (Take coursea.org ) Whether or not this could lead to people getting entire degrees online without much debt would have to seen, but i'm optimistic.
2. Rich people will always want to keep their money. The cool thing is that technology is raising the floor to allow average people access to more and more essentials. Until some sort of movement to change the structure of society, there will remain a skewed distribution of wealth, but the poor of tomorrow will be a lot better off then the poor of today.
3. Tough question, don't know enough to give an opinion, but automation will definitely leave a growing amount of people unemployed.
4. Possibly, but then again why would they need the labor when they could just have a robot do it?
5. Again, why have people work off their debt when they are less efficient and more expensive then the automated robots?
