   One of my favorite YouTube videos from 2009 about the internet, technology and media, predicted that smart phones would be the primary device in 2020.

   Should I post the full video?

     @dansup Link, please!

     There is a book - series, actually, fiction - that started in I think the late 80’s, I read it in the 90’s, and it NAILED the rise of personal-pocket-communication AND the resulting social media hellscape we now have. A couple years before TB-L figured out a hyperlink.

     I find reviewing these prescient things fascinating, if a little depressing.
