Future Pocket-Sized Computers
“Someday, you’ll be able to hold one of these in the palm of your hand while you poop.”
A vintage black-and-white cartoon shows three people examining a wall-sized collection of futuristic electronic devices and computers. The joke is that technological progress will eventually make these huge machines small enough to hold in one hand, even during an ordinary bathroom break. It is used as an absurd reaction to exaggerated predictions about miniaturization and the future of technology.
