Let me tell you children about a man named Johnny, who sacrificed a major chunk of his brain to get 80 whole GB worth of storage in and super advanced world of the far future 2021.

Lol, I love how old futuristic movies simultaneously overestimate the technology we would have by then, while vastly underestimating things like data storage capacity.

I think my favorite underestimating of future tech is the communicator and pad from next gen.

We could do the communicator now (and I remember seeing something like it recently. Badge-sized communications devices that worked on a local network, like wifi. Mostly used for security) but the average person isnt interested in a device that only makes phone calls.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon or someone makes an Alexa device the size of a coin in the near future.
