What are post-millennial expectations?

The speed of social and technological change is relative and tends to be uneven. My grandmother was born in 1880. Arguably, she witnessed more change in her first thirty years than I did in mine (1946-76). For her, that included, beside many of the things on your list, automobiles, elevators (making tall buildings possible), agricultural technology (reducing the number of people needed on farms), and public health (reducing in particular water-borne disease). In my own first 30 years, I witnessed nuclear energy and nuclear proliferation, space travel, television and of course computers. Important all, but for most people these were in the background of their lives. (TV is the notable exception.)
The last 15 years have felt different. Although the notable changes lie within a narrow band of information technologies, their impact is ubiquitous. Will this pace continue and accelorate, or will it plateau for a period? I certainly don’t know. But when it comes to planning for the future, my chief concern is that the future will have access to _us_, that our digital memory will not be lost. Fortunately, there has been huge progress within the last five years or so.
