As far as electronics is concerned, the future is definitely now. Except for AI. That's still smoke and mirrors.

But I was showing my Droid2 to a neighbor just the other day and commented that the Dick Tracy Wrist TV was today a reality. And that's just secondary function to what it's mainly meant for. Plus everything else it can do -- almost a laptop in capabilities.

The "video phone" was part of the World That's Coming in the 1960s. And the funny thing about video phones now being commonplace? Hardly anyone uses them.
