Mmmh interesting, I always assumed the term smartphone was basically a term coined with the iPhone. I should have probably called it something like "the modern smartphone". I didn't want to write iPhone because that's not a category.
- wmf 5y agoKind of playing devil's advocate here, if we ever see a good blockchain it will probably redefine the terminology/history like the iPhone did. Like how "digital cash" was a thing from ~1990 to 2008 and was replaced by "cryptocurrency" because Bitcoin was such a qualitative improvement.
- leifg 5y agoMaybe but I feel the term is currently so much in the public that it's unlikely to change its definition. What I think is more likely, that the buzzword web3 will evolve into something that has nothing to do with blockchains or even tokens.
