Does the future change?

Earth
I experienced an epiphany last night. It left me with a strange feeling, as if I was standing at the edge of space, looking down upon earth, our world. I thought of the future. What will become of us? We, or at least myself, have great aspirations and expectations for the future. My visualisation includes not only great advancement in technology, but changes in behaviour in society, right down to every individual. But will we look back 50 years from now and say, "Seems like nothing much had changed"? It is an unfulfillingly sad but highly probable outcome. For now, just indulging in the thrill of what to come will suffice for me, all which its unpredictable nature might render purposeless.
