    Those damn kids and their newfangled pointy rocks. Back in my day, if you needed your rock to do more damage, you just got a bigger one!

  Wait did Socrates really say that?

  God he’d absolutely hate me. I can’t memorize anything, but I can seemingly learn everything

  We also have a lot more knowledge than we used to. Socrates didn’t have to remember about molecular metabolization pathways or the energy transition of a turbium atom or what size of medium coffee is at Starbucks.

  While the concert and wedding are events where you should turn off your ringer, it’s certainly true that phones can ring at inconvenient times. A big enough problem to outweigh the benefit of being able to check in, find people, call for help, etc. from nearly anywhere? Absolutely not, but it’s still a pretty accurate prediction.

    If anything reality is better off: many people do know various ways to keep their phones quiet but more importantly we use phones for much more than talking. Every time someone texts, so there is no ring, that might have been a call back then

  I don’t think this is the point of the comic, but rather make some humorous speculation of a tech future.
