Our Lives, What Will It Be Like?

If our grandparent's lives had been written up in the 1800s, it would have been considered complete science fiction, but even then the term "science fiction" had not yet been thought of. Someone (I'm not sure who) once wrote, "Truth is stranger than fiction". To understand and relate to the changing technological world, I like to think back to what it was like for our own grandparents. Maybe only then can we realize the extent …

…change approaches us, we shouldn't be to surprised by the traumatic turn of events over the course of our own lives, although I think we could expect faster change. Assuming that we live about as long as our Granny's did (90 plus years). This may be a fairly conservative estimate, given the possible breakthroughs in medicine and lifestyle knowledge to come. We now have the world at our fingertips, and the access to knowledge is overwhelming.
