I'm pretty sure that computers were around 30 years ago, including in banking. While smartphones are a newer development and I do use mine all the time, I can't say that it has any serious impact on my work that would not be achieved with my laptop and a dumb phone. I think you need to look at the phrase 'truly profound' that you're using and consider what that actually means in context: the world wide Web has had a truly profound impact on human development contrasted to promote media. Colour TV, for example, hasn't (given radio, cinema, black and white TV already existing)

'Truly profound' comes from 'seeing software on tiny rectangle' vs. 'being in the software'. The full immersion is the true innovation here.

Well, my point more so revolves around the currently uninvented and the unimaginable uses that developers have yet to deliver on that “profound” device after it arrives, becomes prevalent, the details are figured out etc. That’s what made smartphones exciting for a couple years, right? Not only were we buying devices that were doing the things that we expected them to, but new uses and applications for them were being delivered regularly. When we imagine the new paradigm we’re usually constrained by the current one.
