OTOH, software is as dumb as ever, without any credible hope of AI on the
horizon, humans have not visited the moon in my lifetime, lifespans have not
noticably increased and little progress has been made towards curing the
major killers like cancer. Entertainment and communication has come a long
way in my lifetime, but I'd rather to have lived 50-100 years later when I
suspect more significant advances will take place.
