This 103 years old comic about what would happen if "pocket telephones" would be invented.

Really alarming. As a matter of fact, I myself have faced some issues.

With the addition of “Smart Homes” I think we are launching into another prediction, 100 years from now, hologram would be cool, dreams I’ll never see.
