Our Childrens Future will be what?

Of all the wonderful things accomplished and advanced in the last 30 to 40 years, who knows what will be accomplished in the next 30 to 40 years. 
So to me the question becomes how do we prepare our children for the things we can't imagine yet? The answer, to me, is to encourage creativity, an inquisitive mind, curiosity and an open mind. 
Here are some of the advances we have made in that time frame.
