You know how on Star Trek the Next Generation everyone on the ship uses those little electronic pads to do everthing from read books to take notes and whatever else they need?

Ever stop and think, hey, those things they use 400 years in the future are kind of like crappy iPhones.

Seems that some time between now and the 24th century Apple is going to go out of business.
Yeah, it's high time that sci-fi upped the ante again in terms of foreseeing amazing future technology. The present we live in is already so close to the sci-fi future in many ways. We're in need of some new, creative and unbelievably cool visions of futuristic toys.
