“The quantity of things that “should be out in 5 years” for the last 30 or 40 years is epic (cure for cancer, viable solar power, half a dozen replacements for gas). Until it’s actually out I never believe them.”
The predictions were off but the last 30 or 40 years have been pretty amazing. I’m willing to bet the next 30 or 40 will be jaw dropping.
Oh yeah things have been amazing. Lot of great stuff has been invented/ perfected/ improved. It’s just that almost none of that was ever predicted to happen. Which just makes it all more fun.
