It's the old trope...What would be the hardest thing to explain to someone from 100 years ago?

"I have a device with access to the entirety of human knowledge, that I can hold in my hand. I use it to watch videos of cats."

It's more about economy than creativity. If the billions of dollars squandered in Vietnam and Afghanistan had gone to NASA instead, we'd be looking up at a Moonbase right now.

Cloud powered AI that will have a massive network, being projected across all the skies. And they'll call it...

Net-sky.

Disruptive!

T Mobile works on 3G, but its not as fast as their HSPA+.

You need to see your eye doctor.

Wow, you said exactly everything I was going to say. I want to add one thing though. Musk's problem is production volume. He literally (yes,literally) can't build rockets fast enough.

Are they using sway dampeners? they could you know.

The entire building is presold...to China.

Here's hoping Robot Kim Jong Un is not nuclear powered like his dad was:

I'd be funnier if there wasn't more than a little kernel of truth to it :(

Or one of the political parties.

Cool, now I can carry an electronic friend around in my pocket who demands my attention constantly, makes annoying noises, gets in the way of my social life and dies suddenly.

Yeah, throw some of that Game of Thrones money at Dune. At least just the first book.

Spice is a hell of a drug.

Actually it's not McCarthy that is to blame. McCarthy has become a catch-all for witch hunts and there is this odd mythology that before Joe McCarthy, all was sunshine and lollipops. Consider the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was established in the 1930's to investigate alleged pro-fascist…

Joke or not, I feel compelled to point out two issues

Don't know. Is it anatomically correct or are we looking at the equivalent of a Barbie doll?
