Does cryonics need a "reset button" as well?

Peter Thiel provides the following observation, according to a recent Forbes profile, which I've recontexted for my purposes:

Peter Thiel wants to save the world. Or, at the very least, to "take our civilization to the next level," as he frequently puts it. Almost every problem--the shortcomings of our political and educational systems, the lingering financial disaster, market bubbles, energy crises, the failed promises of the developing world, resource-based wars--stems from what he calls "stalled technological innovation." What a better place this would be, he often muses, if we could press the reset button and go back to the late 1950s and '60s and realize the predictions of science fiction that failed to materialize: ubiquitous space travel and colonization, robots à la the Jetsons, underwater cities, desalinization, reforestation of deserts and much more. Because we're all running harder and harder just to stay in place, the only salvation is big scientific breakthroughs.

The canonical statement of the cryonics idea dates from the same era. What would cryonics as a practical technology look like in 2011 in the alternate universe Thiel imagines where technological innovation hadn't "stalled"?
