...last 100 years? technology wise? in that last 100 years, humanity have changed from the natural technology (knifes, chairs, tables, building, bricks, etc) to advanced unnatural technology ( computers, INTERNET, mobile phone, plastic surgery, hear transplant, space travel, etc) phase.

we are currently living in an unnatural advanced technological world. and it dosent matter how superior or amazing the technology of the future is going to be, it will still be considered as unnatural advanced technology.

i will give you an example - my current car (a ford focus) is much better than the first car ever to be built. but which is the bigger achievement. obviously the first car ever built will be the bigger achievement.

so will humanity ever make an achievement as great as the one we did in the last 100 years.
 
if you ask me, language is one of the biggest achievements ever, if not the biggest. as for theoretical things, we could always colonize a different planet, successfully time travel (again theoretical), make contact with aliens, etc.
 
I don't think we can achieve as much as the past. It's a very interesting topic. I think the best achievements is when something is invented for the first time. That is an amazing achievement. In today's world most of the things we see arnt original inventions but the development of existing ones. So the achievement should go to the original inventors.

I don't understand your use of the word "unnatural" in describing modern technology. It's merely more complex than earlier human technology. Probably 100 years from now they'll think ours was a simple, basic tech in it's infancy. The first "car" ran on a steam engine technology which was already widely used in early railroad application. The early automobile chassis was merely based on the already existing horse-drawn buggy. The first gas-powered engine did not have it's start in the first automobile, either. So your "big achievement" was simply the idea to downsize the internal combustion engine and mount it on an old carriage. Man is regularly making great strides in all fields of science and technology and will continue discovering new tech long into the future, limited only by our imagination. Every new discovery and every new idea for applying technology is a big achievement.

Let me sum all this up by saying you don't know what you're talking about.
