I rank the internet as the most recent evolution of communications that affected business/information/culture in revolutionary ways.

Printing Press > Telegraph > Telephone > Wireless/Radio > Television > Internet.

There was a 300+ year gap between the printing press and the Telegraph and a 40 year gap between the Telegraph and the Telephone, A 20 year gap between the Phone and the Radio, a 30 year gap between Radio and Television and a 60 year gap between TV and Internet.

I’m guessing something else will come along in the next 20-30 years that will be of the same revolutionary caliber as the above mentioned.

From a historical perspective you are almost certainly correct.

But I’m scratching my head trying to think what that “something else” might be. I really don’t think it will be in communication or even in transport unless we manage to figure out how to have Scotty beam us up to wherever we want to go.
