Will the world change as quickly for the next generation?

Asked by syz (35943points) September 28th, 2011

My grandmother remembered plowing the fields with the family mule, and when they bought their very first automobile.

My mother watched the first man to step foot on the moon on her black and white television.

I remember the first ridiculously heavy cellular phones, and my computer geek husband explaining that one day, the internet would link people all over the world.

I see 3 year olds ordering aps on iPhones, watching 3D tv, and using computers before they can walk. Will they see the same massive leaps in science that previous generations saw? What do you think the next major shift in technology/society will be?
