    And lived to be over 90 witnessed the moon landing.

    And in the meantime. Television, radio, automobiles, flight etc.

    Their minds must've been blown.

    People born in 1980 and live to see 2070...

    Internet, smartphones, furbies etc.

    But on the scale of going from the transitional end of primitive life on earth to setting foot on another planet.... What will be the phenomenal 2070 moment for us?

    We will have discovered life in our own solar system and will have also detected life else where, which will have hopefully lead to the demise of religious dogma.. Please God anyway;)

    People will still be trying to out do each other with the Coffee they just had from a dead Giraffe's small intestine after he drank a pint of elderflower wine and puked on a packed of organic rashers

    Ehh what? Since when?
    The most important technology ever invented (internet) is still in its infancy.
    Nuclear fusion
    CRISPR editing
    Worldwide clean energy
    End to drought.
    Missions to Mars.
    DNA computing
    And lots more to come!

    Edit: autonomous vehicles
    Robotics
    End to most jobs
    Possibly living in an actual socialist utopia.

    So lots of speculation then as to the future which people in the 80s would think wind have happened by now.

    Mission to Mars? Should have been colonised by now.

    They don't understand that if life does exist it's light years away, maybe listening too much to that hawking.

    I'll be 102 in 2070 and whilst that sounds depressing I had a grand aunt that lived to 103 so it's doable...

    I foresee things not progressing well though - by then many of the planet's now endangered animals will probably be extinct - there will have been more wars - and more damage due to over population of humankind.

    We will, of course, have holo suites - I'm f*cking not living till 102 without experiencing proper virtual reality and a replicater in every house too ;)

    **Edit to add I'll be 112 in 2080 so I'll probably be dead and won't care either way :(
