Found this antique prediction from around 2012. How did it pan out?

    I like how at the time we hadn’t even considered the entire slab would be a screen, like the memes still have the home button at the bottom. I get that it’s a meme but still.

    We also probably assumed the headphone jack would never go away either so.

    This is a really great illustration of how mere extrapolation can lead you to shitty conclusions.
