I remember being eight years old or some other ludicrous age when, riding around town with my parents, I saw a sign about the Tennessee Aquarium being under construction on that site and scheduled for completion in 1992, and thought, "Wow, that's forever away. I hope I get to see it."
Yesterday I bought for around $80 what's nominally a pocket-sized telephone that works from most places with no wires, but is actually a pokécon: a communications device with a camera and a semi-standard platform for computer programs inside.
I want to say this means we are truly living in the future, but instead I'm more like pity the platform's so closed.
