hell i'm only 28, i don't feel that old mentally or physically, but the amount of technical innovation i've seen in my short lifetime so far is mind boggling. i wonder if she'll see the same kind of rapid progress that i have, or if things have plateaued a bit and it'll be more of a steady progression. afterall you can only make a cellphone so small, or a video game with so many polygons

I can't agree with that one. The quality of music on the internet is of astounding poor quality. We've made virtually no advances in quality of music in the last 25 years. CDs were easily the best quality form of music ever created. I know some people argue this because they love the warm feel of vinyl but really they just loved the background hiss.
For the most part CDs are/were lossless. Now lossless formats are almost dead and it is sad. Except for the few audiofiles and purists that use FLAC.
MP3s are the devil but I digress...
