The future arrives gradually, then all at one.

The future arrives gradually, then all at one.
Here are shifts happening right now that will seem ancient history to the next generation:

"People used to drive themselves..."
Self-driving cars aren't coming, they're already here.
The question is just timing.

"Our skies used to just have clouds in them... (and occasional, far off planes)"
Look up in 2035.
Delivery drones will be as common as seeing a FedEx truck today.
Evening light pollution will increase, b/c 24-7 deliveries will be normal.

"Doctors essentially guessed what was wrong with you..."
Continuous monitoring + AI diagnostics will shift medicine from from reactive, to immediate, to predictive.

"You could actually be disconnected or unreachable..."
Cities are already increasingly cashless, requiring a device to transaction.
Starlink and satellite networks are making "no signal" a relic of the past.
Connected devices are becoming increasingly "internet mandatory".

"Humans were the only intelligent life on Earth..."
We're living through the transition.
Our kids will grow up never knowing a world without AI, and whatever comes next.

It took us centuries to develop AI.
How long it AI need to superseded itself?
