I was listening to a tech radio talk show last night. They make a smart phone case for $900 that can sense a firearm 130 feet away. That's nothing I want to buy or even think about.
1984 and Brave New World, but not 2001 were Science Fiction reading assignments in English class in High School or was it Grammar school, not sure. Now it's history.
