A pocket calculator is, by definition, a pocket computer.

Big brother not watching you mate... your fuxxking watching him. Some crass song, and a lyric from the early 80s , I often think of watching people with their phone stuck under their noses .

"We're on the march wi' Ally's Army
We're going' tae the Argentine
And we'll really shake 'em up
When we win the World Cup
Cause Scotland are the greatest fitba team"

John Lennon predicted TV reality shows and social media :

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still ****ing peasants as far as I can see

I'm more interested in the year 3000 when not much has changed but we live underwater.

Well, it happened.

I clearly remember the Jules Rimet trophy doing a tour of Scottish towns and cities in September 1978.

Nope the way the word is used has been changed since the prevalance of more powerful processors. The original "computers" were people employed to do calculations, replaced by calculators and computers they all "compute" but the difference is the sheer amount of storage and processor power now available means they can do much more impressive things.

Predicted that in 4545 that you won't need teeth or eyes, and by 5555 your arms will hang limply by your side.

On visiting Norwich, I noticed that all this had come true in the locals, millenia early.
