My mother, now 97, rode a horse to school. She saw the Wright brothers perform at the Ohio state fair. She saw men land on the moon. The pace of technological advancement has accelerated. Imagine what somebody who lives to 100 starting today will see. Amazing, I’m sure.
I remember a Caucasian America. I suspect America will be so transformed racially and culturally that if I jumped ahead just 50 years right now I’d probably not be able to talk to most of the people I’d meet. I suspect, though, that America will look like a third world country and we’ll look back on sewers and a power grid that worked without fail as our golden age.
