“Telephones in 2020 will be archaic, relics of a bygone era-like transistor radios are today. Telephony, which will be entirely IP-based by then, will be a standard communications chip on many devices. We'll probably carry some kind of screen-based reading device that will perform this function, though I assume when we want to communicate verbally, we'll do so through a tiny, earplug-based device.” WantKindTodayReadingCommunicationStandardsFunctionAssumingRadioCommunicateScreensTinyErasDevicesTelephonesChipsRelicsTransistors Author:Josh Quittner

“I've chosen a life that's so different from everybody else's that it cuts me off from them. Practically everybody I know treats me like a guest celebrity. Of course it's my own fault. I feel so damn alone sometimes, I feel like I could just float away into the stratosphere and everybody would stand there looking up at me and not one would haul me back down to earth. No ropes.” KnowsFeelsDifferentSometimesEarthCoursesMy OwnCuttingTreatsFaultsChosenDamnGuestsRopeFloatsDown To EarthHaul Author:Jordan Mechner
