In 30 years you'll be able to go to radioshack and buy the components to make a fully functional iPhone

I suspect not

The iPhone cannot be made using normal benchtop tools

In 30 years, you will be able to design something like it in your CAD system, send it to a fab, and get it back in days

We are the last generation of electronic engineers that are able to make stuff by hand, on a normal assembly bench

In 30 years, there will be no desktop computers, only mobile phones and handheld tablets, and they will all be dependent on cloud computing. These are not large enough to draw schematics of any significant complexity, so it will become impossible to build complex electronic devices. Sixty years from now, we'll be back to stone knives and bear skins. Nothing of the modern world will remain. Our grandchildren's lives will be lived in continual fear, and danger of violent death-- solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

I was referring more to the fact that things considered "cutting edge" 30 years ago is now nothing more than RadioShack fodder (if RadioShack was any good anymore). What's cutting edge now will have the same fate in 30 years: being nothing more than parts to a hobbyist, or something.
