There's a great joke in Futurama that the speed of light was too slow, so a bunch of scientists got together and increased it. Let's hope. c being the speed limit of the universe would hopefully be an example of an outmoded idea that’s hung around for too long, and is skewing our view of the world (but the theory has stood strong for almost 100 years now).

Being in my 30s I hope that we get it done in next 2 decades so I can enjoy the results. I certainly don't believe technology needs to slow down, we have such a big universe to explore. Humans can't just live on earth forever.
