I can only imagine what it must have been like to see the technology change from 1908 when my grandparents were born, to around 2000 when they died. I somehow think that if I live 90 years, I won't see quite the same level of change.
Perhaps not in infrastructure and industry, most improvements I would guess will be medical/communications(internet) and automation related, but who knows, there could be a major nanotechnology breakthrough and in 30 or 40 years every problem we have today could seem irrelevant. Before my grandmother who hit 100 passed away, she said the biggest change she had seen, or that concerned her the most was that the pace of life had quickened so much that people don't really seem to 'enjoy' the simple parts of life. Hard to fathom, but I suppose it's true. Fascinating how different generations grow up in different worlds than those before them...
