All very interesting point and ones I cannot disagree with @edicted.
The future will get weird, the question is how quickly. If it is within a couple decades, I think many people will be lost. Of course, the slowness of change could mean it takes more than half a century.
Life is truly going to be like a sci-fi film. We cannot imagine some of what will be around in 30-35 years.
Ray Kurzweil has predicted the Singularity will occur in 2045. At that point General Artificial Intelligence will be equal to all human intelligence in the world and will continue the exponential intelligence explosion at a rate the human mind cannot comprehend. It is for that reason Kurzweil, Verner Vinge, and other futurists opine that man is incapable if predicting what happens after that point in time.
