That's an interesting video and we certainly live in an interesting time. I remember the card catalog and now the term is "google it."

It's difficult to see where things might end up in the next twenty or thirty years. (i'm currently 29) Hopefully there will be "dumb" robots that can take out trash and fetch my beer. Beyond that I can't think of any other "advancements" I'd like to see happen. My life is busy/distracting enough as it is.
