Also I remember in 2003 (when I was 12), I imagined an invention that was basically a transparent touchscreen pane of glass that was a full-fledged computer. I thought that maybe in a hundred years we'd get something like that. While the tablets that we have now aren't transparent, I still never imagined we'd have anything like them by now.
And I remember, around the same time, playing Snake II in school on my mobile phone, and then going home to play GTA: Vice City on my PS2. And I imagined that in about fifty years you might be able to play Vice City on a mobile. I imagined that it would be on the tiny 1 inch screen of a Nokia 3310, in black & white, and just as pixelated as Snake II. I never entertained the possibility that just 10 years later there'd be a HD remaster of Vice City released for iOS/Android.
Would you have guessed life would be this way 20 years ago?
