The generation that witnessed the birth of the internet clearly put techno-utopia back on the map: private space flights, talk of getting to Moon again and Mars... The info-dense views parent suggests have come and gone (cyberpunk), in part because we got there faster than expected.

Our children will actually have to deal with the problems we're creating today (copyright maximalism, the failure of representative democracy, legislation scaling to worldwide dimensions etc) so I guess their futuristic visions will be again focused on how to get along on this little planet.
