The older I get the more I realize how incredibly hard it is to predict anything about the future, especially when it comes to technology.
Growing up in the 90s I thought virtual reality was just around the corner - only now 30 years later are we starting to see virtual reality.
5 years ago it seemed like 100% self driving cars were just around the corner. You can argue we are much closer than we were, but it still seems like we are pretty far away.
10 years ago, the web was dead and apps were the future... today hardly anyone believes apps are the future.
I imagine that travel to Mars, and a moon colony seemed like it was just around the corner in 1970 and yet here we are 50 years later and neither one of those came to fruition.
The reality is tech is incredibly fast moving, which makes it hard to predict, but still not as fast as we think it is.
