Sorry to put a downer, but mankind has been marvelling at their own progress since the dawn of time. In 100 years people will look back at the primitive beginnings of the information age and marvel how much better things are in their current time.
There's plenty wrong with our current world and societies. I can easily imagine a world where technology benefits us better, solves more problems, societies become more equal, etc. etc.
