And shouldn't the car be flying?
Remembering back a few decades, the main difference between then and now is that "modern" people play with their phones a lot. I see no reason to think the future will change any faster.

"Modern" people have a cheap, compact, completely connected computer in their pocket at all times. Did we see that coming 15 years ago? Before you say "sure, things constantly get smaller" the real thing that surprised the world wasnt that they exist, but the fact that just about everyone (that can afford it) has decided they "need" one.
What surprises me is how much absolute shit these things are. I wish I could get a good model Compaq iPaq from the late 90s. Where is PocketLibreOffice with handwriting recognition? I used to write literature--solid--on a 3.5 inch TFT at real-time scribble speeds.
