Wouldn't you say autonomous vehicles (2020-30), mass adoption of seeing robots for manufacturing and warehouse work (2020-2030), CRISPR-based gene drive to nearly eliminate disease-carrying mosquitoes and other organisms (2020-2030), embryonic germline-editing for human enhancement (2025-40), and possibly Artificial General Intelligence (2030-2050) cause changes as massive as or more so than the rise of the Internet?
