For an "instant" generation that wants EVERYTHING and wants it NOW, you're right, this will not make an impact. Fortunately, there are still people who think in long term around.

I'm sure this information will have a significant affect on humanity. It probably won't be while I'm alive but almost certainly it will be long into the future when you and I are dead and can't verify if it had any affect at all. Almost certainly! Anything is possible in the future! Who can argue with that?
