I've gotta wonder... what will current ads look like to us in thirty years? What are the negative stereotypes that will seem ridiculous?

Something regarding age-ism maybe? So many current ads lean toward young attractive, super-fit, smart people that become awesome due to a new technology, without considering the wisdom and/or necessity of said technology. Will we look back and realize that ads played up a groups lack of foresight and judgement?

Like a fool that wears Google Glasses?
