    It’s weird reading work by authors like Asimov, where people travel between planets as a matter of routine, and we have sentient robots, but not mobile phones.

      but then on the flipside there’s stuff like star trek, which since it’s literally the inspiration for cellphones is remarkably normal

      even the fucking tricorders aren’t that far off these days, just today i used an app on my phone to identify plants automatically for fuck’s sake, that’s insane!
