I agree it's click baity. My personal favorite related moment, where I felt strongly "the future is now" was when I connected to a research station running autonomously on the Greenland ice sheet... while flying over the Greenland ice sheet to the UK last month. I was able to debug a software problem via satellite link while hurtling through the air in a tin can. Blew my mind. The latency was about 8 seconds, which was painful.
