Imagine it's the year 1996.
People are talking about these computer things and how they can use the phone line to dial up websites and get information from universities.
You tell them that in the future, everyone's going to have a battery powered computer that they carry around with them everywhere they go.
You claim that everyone, even department stores and fast food restraunt, will make custom software that you can install on your computer.
You'd have sounded like the people preparing everyone for flying cars, vacations to the moon, irradiated food, and a world where robots do all the work and people enjoy leisure time with their friends and family.
