Likewise, if we go back to 1995, and tell a tech-fearing farmer that within 20 years he and all his salt-of-the-earth colleagues would soon be voluntarily (and gladly!) carrying in their back pocket (in the form of a cell phone) a small cheap generic device connected 24/7 to global corporate networks, with built-in high def cameras, microphones, location detectors, and data gatherers, and would casually store much of their personal and financial information within them.
They would find that notion preposterous. But now, some short years later, they would give it barely a thought.
It's funny that this is a reasonable thing to say.
