iPhone - Invented by H.G. Well

If you also study the great "sci-fi" writers or futurists such as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne you will find other interesting observations.  My assessment is that "technology always changes faster than we can predict, while society always changes slower."  Both however, can take radical changes at anytime.  The iPhone is a radical change because it makes us think different even about something as old as the phone.  If you look at the 300,000,000+ million copies of iTunes and 100,000,000 iPods this is more than a casual exploration of technology, it suggests that the technology promised is now here.
