Definitely enough. We're at the dawn of bio and nanotech and haven't even scratched the surface of the consequences of 20st century science. It'll keep technologists busy for at least 50 years if not more.
Pure physicists on the other hand are in a tough spot. By pure I mean those not involved in applications, e.g., HEP, string theorists, etc. Though I'm not a pure physicist and it's just my opinion.
