Are you just mad that we don't have personal jet packs and space elevators yet?

The last 50 years has seen wave after wave of technological improvements, the likes of which I suspect humanity has never witnessed before. The idea that society isn't changing fast enough, well, it sounds entitled and/or naive.

While I am not siding with the author, the fact is that it takes time to enact these types of cultural changes, in no small part because hundreds of millions of people have not only vested interests in current conditions, but genuine concerns over imminent changes.

So rather than rant about how things aren't moving fast enough, perhaps a tiny bit of patience is in order...?
