Sure, although there will continue to be new technologies that separate one generation from the next.

  While this may be true at some level, I'm not sure it will be as drastic a change as no-internet to internet. Young people today (and increasingly many not-so-young people) have been growing up with the concept of quickly changing "high technology" and expect incremental change. I myself feel like if the next biggest shiniest thing comes along, I will be ready to jump aboard, with the benefit of deeply knowing that which came before. This is a sentiment which requires constant learning, which may get old after a while, but for now I consider staying with the times as part of the job description.

    I don't think it's going to be any time soon, but brain augmentation / neural interfaces are likely in the long term. Whenever they show up it's probably going to be a much larger leap than the internet. PS: Don't forget in many ways the steam engine was the last major leap and that was in the late 1700's.
