Back in the late 90's what would be the cost of having a computer nearly always connected to the "information superhighway" without a modem line plus multi-touch full color screen plus digital camera plus complete phone capabilities that can fit in your pocket???10 years ago it would have been either impossible or so outrageously expensive only James Bond would be carrying one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Now, you can get it for under a hundred dollars. 5 or 10 years from now they will be giving them away for free with new cellphone plans.Technology advances and becomes not only better but dirt cheap over time if useful enough. Another example - back in the early-90's I had a friend working on his PhD in astronomy. He had to get a government grant in order to buy a couple gigabytes of data storage. Now I carry more than that on my keychain.Will surface computing catch on like mobile computing did or stall like virtual reality? No one knows. However, unless people push the limits and see what's possible, no one will know!</blockquote>
