Oh, it's going to happen. I've only been alive for 18 years but if you dissect those 18 years in terms of technological evolution, it's nuts how much progress we've made.
We went from trekking to the library every time you needed research to flipping open your laptop and going to to google. We went from housephones to an age where a lot of people don't even have a landline anymore because all they use is their cell phone.
I would bet that before I die (assuming that's some time around 70), all of my digitial **** will be hooked into my head projecting an image that only I see like those sci-fi movies always show. Wouldn't be surprised if that happened within the next 30 years.
