You think about (or are forced to think about) all the stuff our parents and grandparents have witnessed in their life times; cars, planes, radio, phones, penicillin, T.V., computers, Internet, first man on the moon.
Technological advancements, medical innovations, the kind of stuff dreams were made of (albeit, no flying cars as of yet) and people we know, knew a time when these things didn't exist.
We've seen some pretty cool stuff too though, iPods, Facebook, Harry Potter. The advances are smaller, in our life time, I think, but they affect the world in more powerful ways because while the world is a large place, it really is a small world after all.
I'm sure we'll be seeing more leaps forward soon (flying cars have got to be in the works somewhere) and i'll be looking forward to adding to the "In My Lifetime I Witnessed..." list.
