The difference between a car right now and a car 30 years ago is that you can now play angry birds on a tablet Except we now have cars with self-driving (however limited, it's a massive improvement over a car from 30 years). Another interesting thought experiment is, how many digital services, modern tech and so on would you be willing to trade for something mundane, say your dishwasher, a hot shower, the toilet, a car, soap, if you could only have one or the other? I would absolutely choose a mobile phone over any of those things.
