So, I remember reading random SF stories as a child, in the 80s, in which pocket computers did everything. Heck, Larry Niven had this concept going in at least the mid 70s with Mote in God's eye. The difference between those pocket computers and what we're doing with phones now: A name- we call them phones. Why is it so surprising when it actually starts to come true? This is no different than the previous "computerizations" in which digital devices replaced some previously untouchable thing.
