Mark,

“If 30 years have really gotten us nowhere towards those goals, what could possibly happen in the next three that would dramatically change our lives?”

Why should the next three years make any more difference than the previous 30? Thirty years ago some "futurists" thought that by now we would have become immortal and live in space colonies. (See, for example, F.M. Esfandiary's vision published back in 1981 about life in that far off, mysterious year 2010, titled "Up-Wing Prioriities": http://www.box.net/shared/static/ay9lub60ha.pdf . ) If 30 years have really gotten us nowhere towards those goals, what could possibly happen in the next three that would dramatically change our lives?
