I remember the early days of cell phone getting smaller and smaller. It was the only time in history men stood around and talked about who had the smallest one. One of our customers had a cell phone that truly looked like a toy from the back of the comic books. It was not bigger than his ear and did not even come to his jaw bone joint. Then Smart phones started appearing, and now they are huge again but have so much power.

I remember a short story by Issac Asimov. He envisioned a far off future where everyone carried around a small computer all connected to Multvac, and had information to everything. He saw it as a black screen, and a red text display. A man known for imagination in his science fiction could not dream up that it was also a phone, full color high resolution display, video camera, still camera, computer and all the things we do with smart phone today.
