I read this comment on the toilet using a pocket-sized computer that everyone I know owns, and we're all addicted to.

Nobody's buzzing around in flying cars, but if they were, they'd be so ubiquitous we'd just say "meh, we should have jetpacks by now."

I do agree with you that we're getting all the Bad Stuff though.

    This is very true. I use iSH on my phone to run python scripts and ssh into servers, I use Working Copy to make git commits from the toilet or my bed. Like for all intents and purposes, my phone is a cyberpunk “deck,” but I suppose cyberpunk is literally named “The Dark Future” for a reason, considering all else that is going on.
