       Younger me imagined that pocket computers would be real soon. Being able to type on a full keyboard (instead of T9) and have wireless Internet to access web pages as well as servers via SSH. Robust, extendable machines one could carry anywhere and use in many ways where carrying a desktop PC made no sense.2 decades later, I'm holding a fragile glass nugget that does everything worse, can't be programmed from the device itself, keeps getting obsolete, can't be fixed easily and spies on me
