If they can’t wipe your ‘but’ after you take an obama, they won’t be worth a pelosi
The key is that they’re not “phones” as most of us understand the term, they’re super portable computers.
Wristwatches with 3D projection like Princess Leia in Star Wars.
Everyone walking around with their arm bent like Roman soldiers staring at the 3D images.
I’m waiting to see what happens in the 2040s.
Cell phones have been around for awhile but didn’t really start becoming ubiquitous until the mid-late 90s.
So if the radiation from cell phones is as dangerous as smoking, you should see an explosion of cancer cases around that time.
If your the one unlucky out of 6 that gets cancer from smoking, you’ll typically get it after 50 years of use. 50 years past the 90s is the 2040s.
So it could be that there are a bunch of cases, studies attribute it to cell phones, and then the gov decides to raise the age of cell phone use to 26 (the future 21) and impose a special excise tax on them (there’s already an excise tax on calls).
Unless of course, the radiation is not as dangerous as smoking, in which case it might take longer for problems to appear or not at all, if a required deadly exposure exceeds a typical lifetime.
“at the end of 2011 ... Blackberries ... were already obsolete in the states.”
What? Obsolete? Blasphemy! And this dope had better not try to pry my high-end BlackBerry out of my hands or I’ll push his 2027 Model iPhone down his lying throat.
Blackberries. Num, num, tasty.
