Before that self driving cars, before that "Big data", before that 3D printing, before that internet TV, before that "cloud computing", before that web 2.0, before that WAP maybe, internet in general?

Some of those things did turn out to be game changers, others not at all or not so much. It's hard to predict the future.

None of those things took 60 years to still not materialize like AI has. Some of them are still to be commercially successful.
