You don't know what 2065 will look like, nobody does. Do you think someone could have predicted 2015 from 1965 with any degree of accuracy?

You look at everything we have now that we didn't have 50 years ago: UAVs, UGVs, Battlenets, Computer-enhanced weapon attachments, Satellite mapping, Smartbombs, and robots and autonomous vehicles are a reality within a mere 5 years from now.

The reason we are still using much of the same equipment as 30-50 years ago is because they have not become obselete yet. Chinook helicopters are still good at lifting heavy loads, Abrams tanks are still good at packing a 120mm punch at whatever requires it, F15s are still good at dropping missiles and bombs on targets and Cobras are still good at blowing up armor and buildings with missiles.

But there's also a lot of stuff we aren't using that we did in 1965 because they have now become obselete. The F4 Phantom is one example, because something better came along and replaced it (the F14 Tomcat).

Cybernetics is not a fictional technology field, it actually exists. There are people who are putting computers into their bodies to monitor their vitals and increase their abilities, and people are getting robotic limbs. This is simply hypothesizing how that can expand in 50 years. For example, computers in 1965 were the size of an office building floor and were less capable than a modern 4-function calculator, look how far thats come in 50 years.
