Summary: How stable are superconductive materials?

Someone pointed out to me that *all* the superconductive materials
that have been created till today are very unstable (maximal stability
of a few days only). Is this really the case? What is the stability
of the ``room temperature'' superconductive materials?
Is it possible to form strong, but flexible long wire-like structures from 
these materials?

Also I would appreciate opinions on what is/will be the impact of this
technology on the future engineering?

Thanks.
Zygmunt.
