Feel free to quote me when the time comes.

We'll also have robot servants within 10, to the elite at least. Already exist btw.
Yet the evolution of graphics stopped in 2007. Crysis's level of graphics has yet to be reached and that's 2.5 years ago. Now that consoles took over there is no incentive for (much) better graphics. The next gen of consoles will only match Crysis level of graphics and that would be by 2012, half a decade after crysis itself.

PC gaming is dead and that means that an industry which was moving in the pace of an F1 car now it is moving no faster than a donkey. It like a switch gone off. I don't think that a lifetime is enough for those who wish to see photorealistic graphics, a millenium would be more accurate...
