Smartphones affordable enough for the third world, and pervasive wireless internet access will almost definitely have a larger impact on the world than space travel ever will.
- tree_of_item 15y agoEver? That's an incredibly strong statement. Ever is a very long time. Do you think smartphones will be more important than space travel in 300 years? What will the word "smartphone" mean then?
