while I agree we are in a bubble within a bubble I do not think the future is as rosy. We might have better graphics, more content, faster internet but hardly Jetson-esque/Fifth-element world.

All in all looking at the technological innovations of the past century, I can't help but feel the technological novelty of previous growth spurts are just not achievable anymore.

More importantly, we cannot go one day without being told what a happy and advanced wonderful western enlightened era given us: a technological cargo cult with a global serfdom ready to manifest old powers.

I'm not saying it's going to be a good revolution, just a change in the way we do many, many things.
