Is that better mr hanz0
Okay, well it seems that I need to show and example of how change is just around the corner. I don't want you to reply to this post until you've completely finished the article I've posted below. I happened to read this today and thought I'd come and share it. Now I know I must.

"And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Friedrich Nietzsche
I would argue this point by pointing at the last 20 or so years. Broadband internet and wireless communications were almost entirely unforeseen, but have become more or less inextricable from modern society. I would imagine that, considering Moore's law, that we'll have a new something impossible to live without in the next 5 to 10 years, nevermind 60.

I am talking about things like flying cars or telaportation. Yes there will be inventions but nothin so drastic that its going to be impossible to live with out.
How do you know that? I'd argue that new technology can, does, and has affected every day life.
I'll give you a few examples:
The Industrial Revolution made it so products became available almost everywhere, and modern retail businesses stemmed from that. Without the technology of machines that manufacture products, every day life would be much different.
Going even further back, the Agricultural Revolution changed the lifestyle of many pre-historic humans. The development of the technology of irrigation allowed people to settle down with a consistent source of food from their crops. Without irrigation, civilization as we know it would not have risen.
I don't know if another, "revolution" is going to happen within the next 60 years, but then again I doubt they foresaw the coming of any other revolution, industrial, agricultural, or otherwise.

Yes, things like that can be built with in a 60 year time period but having it tested, then mass produced and then sent out every where will take quite a long time. Not to mention that there are probably going to be upgrades because it's close to impossible to invent a perfect machine first try.
