There was a line from the movie 'Ted', that film about a child's stuffed bear coming to life. It was something along the lines of "No matter how special and amazing something is, eventually people get bored of it and move onto something else."

It will probably be like this for us. The children will just take it for granted as they grow up with it, we will be endlessly amazed by it.

To see the real value of something, take it away. Humans are greedy (mathematically) creatures, so there's no point in mulling over assets which are secure. The awe is the exploration phase of a piece of technology, but the remaining value is still valuable.
