People thought science and tech would revolutionise human's life and the society in an immensely rapid fashion.
When people were waiting for good new from the scientists, there followed the 60s, 70s: casual sex, the Vietnam War, the flower people, the new Pope, Kennedy's assassination, the Beatles, and starting the age of yobs and sex & drugs & rock’n’roll.
Now, we are still living on the same planet, living in ordinary homes, sleeping in normal beds, eating roughly 3 meals a day, using regular transports, etc.
Nothing has really changesd.
