Absolutely. In fact, I think you can extrapolate this to many other things. We've become so accustomed to the idea of the future that we're not noticing the fact that we've well entered it. XKCD regularly features this as a topic so I'm surely not alone with this feeling. I mean, we have a world-spanning information network that contains just about every bit of knowledge we can think of. We build devices the size of a thumb that can calculate more in a second than a thousand people could in a lifetime. We control these devices by touching a thin display that can show millions of different colors spread over a surface comprised of hundreds of thousands of tiny dots. All of these things were science fiction thirty years ago. Some of them were fifteen years ago. These are interesting times! But somehow, the democratization of science fiction has made people numb to this realization :-)
