I'm pretty sure entertainment is going to be similar in ten years, but with different toys. We are still going to get the chills listening to the crescendo of an emotional song, the laughs from idiots hurting themselves in an embarrassing manner, the thrill of cutting of executing a monster with style, the pride of beating a friend with a touchdown, the fear from witnessing a masked man fly around the corner with a knife digging into someone's cavity multiple times in the middle of the night, and so on and so forth.
As for technology, I'm sure games will make this gen look dated beyond belief. I'm sure in ten years, we will be emmersing ourselves with virtual technology, and controllers will only be for the hardcore gamers. Ten years ago, I was sitting in front of the first release of the Playstation 2, with a mouth awing at the cinematic of games. Today, if the game doesn't look like a cinematic, it's graphics are considered 'dated.'
All youtube videos will at least be in 3-D 1080p, and if not - then kids will find it unbearable. It will make us seem snotty, due to our expectations; but these expectations will make developers of entertainment have more of a drive as their payroll depends on it. We are in the Technological Revolution, and seeing the same thing after ten years isn't possible.
