So if I asked you what people in the 2000s thought 2020 would be like, it almost sounds like a slightly mundane inquiry on the surface. 2 decades isn’t “that much” time, and it stands to reason that their predictions would be that the tech of the day would get better.

Yes, that would make sense. But here’s the thing….modern smartphones, their absolute takeover of modern life, wasn’t a guarantee. IT wasn’t until 2010 or so that it seemed like these smartphones would define the upcoming decade. In 2000, they predicted that things would go a different way. A way that…well…you’ll have to see.

They were a bit off.
