Hope for "The Electric Grandmother"?

Apparently Sony BMG adapted this video to show at one of their executive meetings. It portrays the progression of information technology and if the statistics can be believed (It obviously doesn't cite any of its sources), it certainly makes you take pause.

From an advertising perspective, the fact that it took 38 years for radio, 13 years for television and just 4 years for internet to reach a market audience of 50 million, seems unbelievable to me. And only 2 years for facebook?! Crazy. It really reinforces the idea that we've only begun to delve into what the web is and what it is to become.

Whether addressing the state of education in our country, the evolution of jobs and job creation, to the explosion of the internet and how it has changed our world...It is really amazing how much instantaneous information we've gotten used to having at our fingertips.

Speaking of having whatever we want at our fingertips, does that mean that in my lifetime there's the possibility people could have their very own electric grandmother like the one in the movie I remember watching as a kid? I mean if computers are going to exceed the computational capabilities of the human species by 2049, it can't be that far off, right? I'll keep my fingertips crossed.
