I think the eyePhone from Futurama clearly beats a handheld phone, but it might be a bit more than 10 years away. [VIDEO] Despite being a more than 10 year old iPhone parody it is pretty spot on even today. Very little has happened in smartphone land. (this is also the origin of the "shut up and take my money"-meme)
Futurama did it. Implanted vision devices have been a few years away, for decades. The nerve-wire interface isn't a simple problem. [VIDEO]
> “Do you have an appointment?” No. “Oh, it’ll be about 45 minutes before someone can help you.” Ah, yes, the Ferrari customer experience. You need to be selected by the manufacturer to be allowed to buy their product. It makes the product feel rare and exclusive, and the customer feel "special", when it's a consumer product made by the same Chinese sweatshop workers that make your other e-waste. Obligatory Futurama "there might be one left": [VIDEO]
