This is something my mates and I discuss regularly. Basically, in the previous x thousand years, we have put all the building blocks in place, to get us 99% of the way there, technology-wise. And the last 100 years, where we have created such marvels like the iPhone, is just the icing on the cake.
I see what you did there!
