Although the list is nice I thinks it's a pity there isn't much out-of-the-box thinking in there. And maybe that's because it will be totally different from what we ever could imagine.

My grandma is 93 years old. I don't think anyone could ever imagine a wireless-telephone-phonograph-motionpicture-talktoeveryone-device around the time she was born.

Sure they could. What they perhaps missed is that this magic device would be used to look at funny cat pictures and share what you had for breakfast with the world. And that people would tune in to that.
