lol. 35 years ago I wrote a report in school on how computers will become as
common an appliance as a TV or telephone, and even more when every gets access
to a high speed data line. Teacher gave me B because I had a good
imagination, but otherwise said the idea was ridiculous. Who would want to
carry around a computer, let alone have more than one? No one would want one
in their living room. I ran into him a couple of years ago, and all he had
to say was, "yep. You were right."
