I would definitely disagree with the flashlight as well. While my smartphone flashlight is certainly useful if I drop my keys or something, I’m certainly not going to use it while crawling around in the muck under the house working on a pipe.

I think about growing up in the 1970's and what we thought the "future" would look like. (flying cars, robot butlers, etc.) If someone would have said, "You will have this thing about the size of a pocket calculator which you can make phone calls anywhere, take pictures better than the best cameras, send instant messages or video chat with anyone, have access to every song, movie, book or source of information on earth. Have instant maps that show your location and give directions. And oh by the way, it also has a clock, timer, flashlight, health monitoring and pretty much any other application you could desire."

We would have laughed and told them to get serious, maybe in 500 years something like that would exist, but certainly not in our lifetimes.
