perhaps the rate of change is so great that its leading to something completely unrecognisable in 100 years
That seems to be the most likely scenario.
Proof: Hop into your time-machine and try to explain the internet to someone from 100 years ago.
Remember, the first computer (Z1) was invented only 76 years ago. The first commercial TV-sets became available 92 years ago. Our technology is evolving at a mind-bending pace.
I wouldn't be surprised if Star Trek style voice input was the norm by the time I bite the dust. I wonder if my grand-kids will still use keyboards or consider them a relic...
You need to work on your proofs. Counterexample: hop in your time machine, go back to 1550, kidnap someone, take them back to 1450, and have them explain the printing press. Easy peasy.
Second counterexample: Edison made his first big move redesigning stock tickers. I'm pretty sure Edison could grok the Internet.
That seems to be the most likely scenario.
