Some say technology is expanding 300% per year, I'm thinking less than 30 years for sure.
Just think of 30 years ago, no GPS, no cell phones, no space shuttle...hell the internet didn't exist so I wouldn't even be able see or respond to your question.
Heres crazy:
I remember talking at length in 1999 to my 99 year old grandfather about what he has seen in his (almost) 100 years.
1) he saw the first "real type" automobile
2) first radio broadcast
3) first aircraft's (he became a pilot)
4) the television
5) Internet
And everything in between.
He remembered just turning 19 and was waiting to go fly a Sopwith and "slap" the German Fokker's out of the sky, but the war ended just before he was to be deployed.
He died 3 days before his 100 birthday and 51 days before he would have lived in 3 centuries.
Technology is growing so fast..nothing would surprize me.
