This "Did You Know" video focuses on the changing media landscape, including convergence and technology. It gives an insight into just how much technology has changed the way we communicate.

And why do you think that would happen in our lifetimes?

The sun will die in 5 billion years (give or take half a billion), anything earlier than that I haven't seen proof of yet ;)

Also, I would point out that our own lifetimes are extending rapidly; it is likely that many of the people using youtube will live to 80, 90, even 100, when they might have died at 60 or 70, only half a century ago. :)
