That is if we don't get pulled into a WWIII in 5 years.

Things have actually slowed down quite abit in the last 50 years. About 100 years ago, we discovered the atom--the building block for all things. Shortly, we were flying aircraft, driving cars powered by internal cumbustion engines. It was actually DURING the two world wars that much of the technological advancements occurred: jet engines; rockets; radar; sonar; big bombs; etc.

40 years ago, we flew to the Moon, and soon had jet aircraft for international civilian traffic.

Now, we have the Internet to be sure, but were' still driving around on rubber tires in vehicles using internal combustion engines; flying around in sub-sonic aircraft; etc ...

Unfortunately, unless we discover something else as fundamentally useful as the atom, we're probably going to have diminished returns in terms of how much technology changes the way we live. In 1969, people were predicting that we would be driving around in hover-craft and colonozing the Moon by now. Probably not going to happen anytime soon.
